49th Post Jesus His Mission con't - Mark 1: 38

The passages Mark 1: 38 and Luke 4:43 are from very early in Jesus ministry. This passage takes place after Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law which caused the whole town to bring their sick and crippled to him for healing. Jesus worked all night working in this capacity. In the morning Jesus tells his disciples that they must go out into the surrounding towns and do the same thing; for this is why He was sent. Jesus was sent by God the Father, as we learned that Jesus only did the work of His Father. This takes place around the Sea of Galilee, this is located in the Northern Part of Israel. It is fitting that Jesus should start his ministry here, after all this was part of the ten tribes that forsook God first as foretold in Deuteronomy chapter 28. One of the jobs of the Redeemer was to restore Israel. Isiah foretold in chapters 42, 43 & 44 that the Messiah was to redeem His people. The people were also commanded to return to Him, they would be blessed if they did. God even here is well aware that the Jews have free choice and could choose to reject Him and His Redeemer. Many Jews did reject Him, but not all. These are the ones that the Bible calls the remnant. These are the believing Jews all through out history that did not lose their sight of their God. God said He would never turn His back on His people, or leave them. This is the start of Jesus ministry, and He is fulfilling what His Father said He would do.
