After the forty day fast Jesus goes right into a ministry that spreads like a wildfire.

Quote:



23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.




This ministry spread clear up into Syria and then far into the southern part of the country.

Its amazing, with no radio, tv, or internet outreach, we see His ministry having a large influence over the multitudes. He didn't need a rock band to lead worship, nor a bulletin announcing the days activities.

Word spreads very rapidly by word of mouth. The ministry of healing and deliverance drew the crowds.

Sinful man has always been plagued with disease, torments, and as the Bible shows demon possession. Its interesting that those who were epileptics and paralytics are mentioned separately and are not mixed in with the statement concerning various diseases and torments.

So what happened that made the difference, it was the statement, "He healed them". When the power of God is manifested through healing, it has a huge impact on large numbers of people.

You know whats very interesting is that most true born again believers agree with what took place in Jesus ministry, there are some differences but for the most part those who have creeds concerning the works of Jesus, all seem to agree on what took place.

Even though I realize that Paul's letters were inspired by the Spirit and we find him dealing with issues in the church. Today many of those same issues have caused divisions in many churches. I think it has to do with incorrect doctrinal practices where everyone tries to interpret what everyone needs to do.

Its interesting how all of this has played out through history and now at the end of time we are dealing with many of the same issues, while the power of God is lacking in our midst. That's not to say we don't have some manifestations of the power of God. Part of the hindrance from its manifestation comes from misinterpreting Paul's letters to the churches which has caused strife and division between many believers.

Anyway just wanted to make a note again that while Paul's letters are inspired of God it has become a situation where men have read into the text and added what they think it says. Whether it is an official church doctrine or an unspoken rule held by any congregation of people.

While in the Gospels, we see Jesus laboring to bring the good news and was helping mankind through the message and the power of God.
