Footsteps of Jesus in the Modern World
CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTION
Jesus Christ lived 33 years in this world a lot of years ago. Upon those 33 years of span especially during His ministry, Hew went in so many places and did so many miracles as well. In this chapter, not all but some significant places where Jesus, our savior, stepped in will be recalled. The main basis is the bible and even more scriptures because it was written itself there in the Gospel of John that “now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written” (Jn21:25). Jesus lived in the country of Palestine. This country consist of 3 provinces namely Galilee in the northern part, Samaria in the middle part and Judea at the southern region. this chapter consists of 2 parts, Galilee and Judea. There were not much records of Jesus when He was in Samaria but the Samaritan woman so Jesus the researcher focused on the 2 provinces where Jesus was born, lived, served, sacrificed and died.
A. Galilee
Galilee is the land, the province in Palestine, where Jesus began His ministry. Galilee is also the place where Jesus came, Nazareth- a part of Galilee. As a matter of face, eleven of the apostles of Jesus were from Galilee while the other one was Judas Iscariot came from Judea. One of the most significant places here is the Sea of Galilee or the lake Galilee. As a whole, galilee was the land where Jesus did a lot of miracles of cure and preached many important teachings of love. That’s why it may be called the land of “supreme loveliness and change.”
A.1. Nazareth Nazareth is the hometown of Jesus as what He was usually called “Jesus of Nazareth”. He grew here as a carpenter being taught by His father Joseph. His father was a very well-known carpenter in that time as what he was usually called “Cannis the Carpenter.” Mary, the mother of Jesus, took the care of the home; make bread, weave clothes and fetch water.
