Jesus leaves Galilee
Jesus leaves Galilee
Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “You’d better get out of here if you want to live. Herod wants to kill you.” [Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee. He was one of the sons of Herod the Great.]Jesus leaves the fox behind
Jesus told them, “Go give that fox a message for me. ‘Look, I’m exorcising demons and curing sick people. I’m doing it today. I’ll be doing it tomorrow. I’ll be finished with my work on day three.’ It’s true, I have to continue my trip today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I don’t have a choice because it wouldn’t do for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem.Jesus leaves for the city that kills prophets
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem. City that kills the prophets. City that stones to death messengers sent by God. So many times I have wanted to gather your children around me like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings of protection. But you didn’t want that. Your Jerusalem home will become a home for no one. I’m telling you this, the next time you see me you’ll be saying, ‘He comes with God’s approval and on God’s behalf’” (Luke 13:31-35).Preaching his way to Jerusalem
Jesus headed south toward the Crucifixion, which he seemed to know was coming. Along the way, he continued healing people and teaching them. It was on this trip that he told some of his most stories and parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son famous as the Prodigal Son.For more about Jesus, try to get your hands on The Jesus of the Bible, by Stephen M.

3Don’t you realize that we have been immersed [2] in Christ Jesus? That includes his death. It’s a part of us now. 4In a sense, this immersion that included death means that we were buried with him, too. But just as the Messiah was raised from the dead by the Father’s awesome power, we get to experience a new life, too. 5If he’s a part of us now and we died with him, he’s going to be a part of us in his resurrection as well.

MAP JORDAN RIVER
The Jordan River and the river valley are important locations in both the Old and New Testaments. It's especially important to the Jewish and Christian people.Geography of the Jordan
Map Jordan River. The Jordan is a river in the Middle East that starts north, in the mountains of Lebanon. It flows into the Dead Sea. Bible writers talk about it many times. They report it in the story of Joshua, who led the Israelites across the Jordan into Canaan. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan. The Jordan River valley is a lush green area that is surrounded by desert. It's famous for its fertile land and beautiful scenery. Bible writers called it the land of milk and honey. This is because God told Moses that he would lead the Israelites to a land "where milk and honey flow like rivers" (Exodus 3:8, Casual English Bible).Jordan River scenes in the Bible
The Jordan River valley is home to other important biblical sites, including Jericho. That's the city famous for its walls that came tumbling down in Joshua's time. The northern river valley is also home to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount. And in that same valley, on the Sea of Galilee, is where the Bible writers report that Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm. The Casual English Bible describes the river as "the most famous river in the Bible." It says that when Joshua led the Israelites across the river and into the Promised Land "walking in the water of the Jordan River symbolized the people stepping out in faith and trusting God to keep his promise." The Bible says God stopped the Jordan River during flood sea, which allowed the Israelites to cross. Israelites are the ancient ancestors of today's Jewish people.3Don’t you realize that we have been immersed [2] in Christ Jesus? That includes his death.
