October 1 | The Early Stages of Jesus’ Ministry | Matthew 4:12-25
When Jesus began His public ministry, He started by preaching a gospel of repentance, and He announced that the kingdom of heaven was near. What did this mean? He also extended invitation to some particular individuals-Peter and Andrew, James and John-to be His disciples. What does it mean to follow Jesus like that today, and how can we join Jesus on His mission of love? And Jesus’ early ministry was accompanied by power over illness and evil. How are we to understand the words and the works of Jesus ministry today?
