The voice crying in the desert fell silent, but a striking voice rises above the Sea of Galilee. A bold young rabbi emerges by the Sea of Galilee, approaching a diverse crowd in Capernaum, a hub of cultural influences. Jesus chooses this place to welcome all, rather than Mount Zion.
Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” This message of the Gospel reveals that God is present and at work among the hills, the lake, and the streets of Capernaum, Magdala, and Bethsaida.
The Kingdom nurtures all life, inspiring belief in happiness. Jesus teaches that this world contains another, filled with God’s light that fosters growth. Your heart is capable of divine beauty within. Join me on this path where life tastes anew, with forgiveness, healing, and resurrection becoming a source of beauty. Where you heal your wounds while healing others, and happiness is not a fuzzy feeling but your true identity.
Four fishermen heard this summons, left their boats and nets, and tuned in to that young rabbi. They had jobs, in fact, a small fishing business to support their families, yet something was missing.
And it wasn’t a better moral code, more profound doctrines, or sharper thoughts. They lacked God’s dream. Jesus came to support humanity’s dreams and nurture eternal life.
They knew the lake’s routes by heart, still, Jesus offered a new perspective: “There are no more fish to catch, only hearts to reach.” Jesus added divine life, and they said, “Amen.”
