WHY DID THEY GO TO HELL?

CAPERNAUM: LIVING IN THE TOWN OF JESUS.

Sitting beside the loveliest lake in the world is the Town of Jesus.

Sitting beside the greatest road of the ancient world is the Town of Jesus.

Witness to the greatest sermons ever preached, is the Town of Jesus.

Witness to the greatest miracles ever performed is the Town of Jesus.

Welcome to Capernaum, the Town of Jesus.

No city or town on earth was ever called the Town of Jesus. No spot on earth was graced with more sermons, more signs, or more miracles than the Town of Jesus, Capernaum. Why do we call it that?

Listen to Matthew 9:1 So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city. Capernaum was the town of Jesus. Why did He pick this small town in Galilee as His home base?

Galilee was one of the great road centers of the ancient world. It has been said that, "Judea is on the way to nowhere; Galilee is on the way to everywhere." Palestine was the land bridge between Europe and Africa; all land traffic must go through her. The Great Road of the Sea, led from Damascus, by way of Galilee, through Capernaum, down past Carmel, along the Plain of Sharon, through Gaza and on to Egypt!

It was one of the great roads of the world. Another road led from Acre on the coast away across the Jordan out to Arabia and the frontiers of the empire, a road that was trodden by the regiments and the caravans. And where those roads crossed in Galilee was a town, a town named Capernaum, the town of Jesus.

This morning we are going to read a page from a day in the life of Capernaum, the Town of Jesus. I hope the wonders of Jesus, and this privileged town, will never be the same to you again! Mark 1:21-34

Capernaum witnessed more of Christ's miracles than any other spot on earth. Jesus made His headquarters in this beautiful, prosperous fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. He performed more miracles and preached more sermons in and around Capernaum than at any other place during His entire ministry. There, He raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead and healed the nobleman’s son. Here, He healed the demoniac, Peter’s mother-in-law, the woman with the hemorrhage, the two blind men, the centurion’s servant, the dumb demoniac, and the paralytic who was lowered through the roof by his friends.

Have you ever traced the size of Capernaum on Christ's ministry calendar? Would you do that with me this morning? Get your Bible and notebook ready, this will bless your soul, looking at our wonderful Jesus giving Himself to seek and find His sheep.
