Matthew 11:1 (HCSB) – When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.
It struck me how this little detail about how Jesus had made an effort “to teach and preach in their towns,” must have been helpful for the disciples’ families and also the local communities from where they all had come from. Why? Well, by Jesus going back into the disciples’ hometowns, the folks back home were at least given an opportunity (by Jesus Himself no less) to know the reason why the disciples had suddenly left all to follow this rabbi from Nazareth. To me, this little nugget shows how caring God is…
Godspeed, to the brethren!
