Called to Discipleship

Matthew 4:23-25 The Message

23-25 From there he went all over Galilee. He used synagogues for meeting places and taught people the truth of God. God’s kingdom was his theme—that beginning right now they were under God’s government, a good government! He also healed people of their diseases and of the bad effects of their bad lives. Word got around the entire Roman province of Syria. People brought anybody with an ailment, whether mental, emotional, or physical. Jesus healed them, one and all. More and more people came, the momentum gathering. Besides those from Galilee, crowds came from the “Ten Towns” across the lake, others up from Jerusalem and Judea, still others from across the Jordan

For Reflection

Jesus mainstreamed his ministry.  His mission was to help people understand the power of accepting God's will. His work included signs (healing) and such activity drew people toward his love and tenderness. These were the marks of his call to salvation and to escape the perceptions which separated them from reliance on God.

Pray
Pray to deepen your relationship to God.  Pray so that you might experience God's love fully and rest in obedience to God's will.
