Manage episode 373543573 series 3473931
Today's episode shares the story of the beginning of the public ministry of Hazrat Isa al-Maseeh. He preached, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" and he healed the sick.
In this story, we hear about how His first disciples left their homes to follow Him. Just as they immediately and completely gave up their lives to follow Hazoor Isa al-Maseeh, so should we today.
"12 When he heard that Hazrat Yahya (AS) had been arrested, He withdrew into Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Hazrat Isaiah (AS):
15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
along the road by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
16 The people who live in darkness have seen a great light,
and for those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
17 From then on Hazoor Isa (AM) began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
18 As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Hazrat Simon (AS) (who is called Hazrat Peter (AS)), and his brother Hazrat Andrew (AS). They were casting a net into the sea — for they were fishermen. 19 “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for people.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, Hazrat Yakoob (AS) the son of Zebedee, and his brother Hazrat John (AS). They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
23 Now Hazoor Isa (AM) began to go all over Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 Then the news about him spread throughout Syria. So they brought to him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. And he healed them. 25 Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan."
