Religious Jews of the Triangle | Jesus in Galilee Pt 3 | EP170

In Jesus in Galilee Pt 3: Religious Jews of the Triangle, Walking The Text Founder Brad Gray explores a tiny section of the Galilee where Jesus spent an enormous amount of time. Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida comprised a small area known today as the “Evangelical Triangle.” And what Jesus does and says about these cities will cause you to reflect deeply on your own relationship with him.

These three cities were mostly populated by religious Jews. These Jewish families were passionate about following the Scriptures, and their entire lives were oriented around the Biblical text. Although they didn’t become a formal institution until after 70 AD, synagogues functioned like community centers, shaping the life of the community around the word of God. Capernaum sat on the international highway and, in time, became a rabbinic center which seems to be one of the reasons Jesus chose to make it his home base.

Yet, despite their familiarity with the Scriptures, Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida, were largely resistant to the ministry of Jesus. So resistant that Jesus pronounced a woe on their disbelief. Which raises the question: What happened? How can people who are so fiercely devoted to the Scriptures miss the Messiah when he shows up in their midst? Jesus in Galilee Pt 3: Religious Jews of the Triangle will show that it’s not enough to know about Jesus and challenge you to examine what keeps you from following him more fully?
