After His victorious confrontation with the devil in the Judean wilderness, Jesus heads north to Galilee, setting up His base of operations for ministry in the city of Capernaum. In doing this, Jesus fulfills prophecy and begins to preach His central message: "Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand." The presence and power of God's Kingdom arrives with Jesus, calling His people to repentance, obedience and restoration.
