Galilee, Where Jesus Grew Up and Ministered

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan- Isaiah 9.1

There is no greater honor than having Jesus walk into your life. You may be a king on earth but when you have Jesus come into your life you become a servant-
a servant of the King of kings!

Galilee had the distinct honor of Jesus growing up in its Nazareth and teaching and performing miracles around its Sea. It is one of my favorite places on earth. I love the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. Besides a few fishermen that still drop their nets there it is pretty quiet. It is conducive to being reflective and there is certainly a lot one can reflect on there!

In this picture I am sitting with a shepherd on the site where it believed Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount. What a tranquil spot!

If you are a life long student of the Bible then going to Israel in one way feels like you are coming home. It is wonderful.
