1. Jesus preaches the good news (23)
Jesus focused his attention on training his disciples; his schoolroom was the dusty roads and small villages of Galilee. He preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven to all the sinsick and physically sick people whom he met as he traveled. His healing touch was good news. God's love for these poor, oppressed people, forgotten by the worldly rulers, was good news.
2. Crowds of people came to Jesus (24-25)
The good news of God's love and his power to save anyone with any problem spread. So crowds of miserable people with all kinds of problems came to Jesus. They came from all parts of Palestine and Syria. Each one who met Jesus went away full of joy, wholeness and peace. Many were set free from the bondage and power of Satan.
Prayer: Lord, let the good news of the kingdom fill my heart and life and be on my lips. Teach my hands and feet to move in a way that reveals your love.
One Word: Jesus' coming is good news
