As you read the Gospels, the start of Jesus’s ministry can look abrupt and random, even accidental. It’s as if He waited for 30 years to get going and then, – BOOM! – He just started telling everyone the Gospel. But I’m not sure that’s the reality. If we look deeper, we see that these first disciples were part of a connected community woven together by relationships, shared experiences, and even family ties. Understanding how Jesus started not only sheds light on His methods but also offers a model for how God’s Kingdom still grows through relationships and intentionality.
