The little village of Bethany was just a couple of miles from the big city of Jerusalem. Bethany was awed by our LORD while Jerusalem ignored and reviled Him. Bethany loved and served Him while Jerusalem sought to kill Him. Bethany was not a religious center but it was closer to Heaven. Jerusalem was dedicated to the Law but rejected the heart of the Law. This week we will observe the subtle and the sublime majesty of Jesus as the LORD brought awe to a home in Bethany.

The theme for this series is borrowed from Frank Viola's "God's Favorite Place on Earth" (David C Cook.)
