STEEMCHURCH-Why preach?

Jesus began to preach: "The Kingdom of God is near." When Jesus returned to his hometown, Nazareth, he went to the synagogue, opened the scroll of Isaiah and read aloud: "The Lord has given me a holy spirit to preach his good news." Isaiah: 61 What he wanted to say? Well, people wanted to see the miracles of Jesus. But he did not receive holy spirit just for that. The most important thing was that he preach the good news of the Kingdom. In the end, he said to those who were listening: "Today this prophecy is fulfilled."

Afterwards, Jesus went to the Sea of Galilee. There he saw four of his disciples who were fishermen and told them: "Come with me and I will make you fishers of people" Matthew 4:19 .. The men were named Pedro, Andrés, Santiago and Juan. They immediately left their fishing business and went with him. They traveled throughout Galilee preaching the Kingdom of Jehovah. They preached in synagogues, markets and streets. Many people followed them wherever they went. The news about Jesus spread everywhere, even in distant Syria.

Eventually, Jesus empowered some of his followers to heal the sick and cast out demons. Others accompanied him to preach from city to city and from town to town. There was also a group of faithful women who cared for him and his followers. Among them were María Magdalena, Juana, Susana and others.

After preparing his disciples, Jesus sent them to preach. While traveling through Galilee, many others also became disciples of Jesus and were baptized. There were many people who wanted to follow Jesus, so he compared them to a field ready for the harvest. He said: "Pray to Jehovah to send more workers to harvest." Matthew 9.38. Later, he chose 70 of his disciples and sent them in pairs to preach throughout Judea. They talked to everyone about the Kingdom. When they returned, they really wanted to tell Jesus how they had gone. The Devil could not do anything to stop the preaching

Jesus left everything ready for his disciples to continue doing that important work after he returned to heaven. He told them: "Preach the good news of the Kingdom throughout the earth. Teach the Word of God to people and baptize them. " Matthew 28.19 and 20.

"I also have to announce the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent" (Luke 4:43).
