The people of Capernaum, at least initially, have a pretty good effort towards having a spiritual encounter. They are first AMAZED, then they WONDER, then THEY THINK for a while, then the LISTEN, then they QUESTION, then they RECOUNT what they have experienced. Finally, they work for the FAME of Jesus. I'm calling that a step towards worship.
This is an above-average touch with the Almighty. It ends shy of BELIEF, but that is for another day. Sadly, most of the Capernaum's residents don't get there, and a severe judgement falls upon that city. That may inspire even a greater attention to their process and to its logical end.
When God shows up in His people, or in His Word, or in Creation, or in a Podcast, I think the Capernaums have something to teach us. Thank you for listening with them and me today. Subscribe at bewithme.us or write at [email protected].
