It’s June, and a new month means a new series at DoNotDepart.com. Also new this month, we are glad to announce the addition of new contributors: Sabrina Gogerty and Kristee Ravan. A guest contributor, Alison Porter, will join us also. Be sure to welcome these ladies to the blog when you see their posts later this month.

For many, summer is a great time for a road trip, so why not take a virtual tour of the Holy Land together? Throughout June we will delve into the culture, geography, and history of places in Palestine where Jesus walked, talked, and loved.

Jesus Walked

If Jesus had a step counter, he would have earned the “globetrotter award.” According to estimates, Jesus traveled over 21,000 miles while on earth—enough to circumnavigate the globe. The Gospel accounts are rooted in reality— real places, real people, and real time. The New Testament chronicles His movement and provides details reinforced by archaeology. Ours is not a flimsy faith based on half-truths and fables; Christian faith is bolstered by its historicity.

Kent, Charles Foster. Palestine in the time of Jesus, 4 B.C. – 30 A.D.: including the period of Herod, 40 – 4 B.C. [S.l.: s.n, 1912] Map. Retrieved from the Library of Congress, <www.loc.gov/item/2009579463/>.

Jesus Talked

Everywhere He went the Gospels record Jesus’ words. For students of God’s Word, it is important to look at these words in context. Not just studying the rhetorical context, but the cultural context as well. Whether talking to Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman at the well, or Zacchaeus, it is important to study not only Jesus’ words, but the place where He was speaking. Throughout this series, if there is a significant connection between the geographical setting and Jesus’s words, we will highlight it.

…but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.  John 20:31.

Jesus Loved

Furthermore, as Jesus traveled some 3,000+ miles during His ministry, He demonstrated His love for people. Confronting sin, healing the sick, standing up for the downtrodden, Jesus modeled love in action. Understanding the setting is a key to understanding the Kingdom purpose of Jesus’ miracles and personal encounters. We hope to illumine the richness of the scripture as we delve into the importance of place in the life and ministry of Jesus.

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. John 21:25

The Gospel accounts are rooted in reality— real places, real people, and real time….Christian faith is bolstered by its historicity. #WhereJesusWalked

    […] Cheli informed us earlier that Jesus traveled over 3,000 miles during His three years of ministry and most of it on foot. The Bible tells us that very little of His time ministering was spent in His hometown of Nazareth. […]
