The Law Is Good If a Man Use It Lawfully – I John 3:14

Jesus had been traveling and performing miracles, which gained him widespread attention. This passage is set in Capernaum, a city on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, which became something of a home base for Jesus’ ministry. After performing miracles and teaching in other towns, he returns to Capernaum, possibly to rest or spend time with his close followers. However, word spreads quickly that he is back, and people gather in large numbers, filling the house and even blocking the doorway, all eager to hear him teach.

Jesus teaches the importance of being spiritually prepared for His second coming. He compares it to the days of Noah and Lot, when people were caught off guard by sudden judgment because they were absorbed in their daily lives.

This story teaches us that faith and obedience to God’s guidance can lead to miraculous provision, demonstrating that God can use even the smallest resources to meet our needs abundantly. It also shows that God cares about our practical concerns and is able to provide in ways that surpass our expectations.

Pastor Chris Parker

Paul demonstrates not only boldness but also a deep love for the souls he ministered to. He and his companions, driven by sincere care, shared the gospel without seeking personal gain or approval from others.
