Something we sometimes miss in the gospels is how expansive Jesus’ ministry
is. He starts small getting baptized and calling twelve disciples. But his
ministry quickly expands to the poor, the sick, the the underserved, the
outcasts, the women, and the lowly. It even expands regionally to
surrounding cities and principalities. By the end of the gospel it even
expands across the seas into other regions. As we follow Jesus’ ministry
across the pages of scripture, what becomes increasingly obvious is those
Jesus considers deserving to be served and loved is ever expanding which
means even the Galileans are God’s beloved.
