Day 14 - Capernaum
During Jesus’s ministry He made His home in Capernaum. Many of His disciples were from the fishing town on the shore of the Galilee. Peter, Andrew, James, and John were all from this town.
Jesus was preaching in their town and needed the use of their boat to preach. When He finished teaching, He commanded them to push out and drop their nets even though that had caught nothing all night. When they did their catch was astounding. Simon’s response was to fall on his face. “Go away from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man.”
Jesus then called them to leave everything and follow Him. Jesus inspired them to trust and to step outside their daily grind to see what He was doing as He ushered in a new kingdom.
Peter’s response to Jesus was to fall on His face in awe. As we look at the work of God in our own lives, how does this draw us to a posture of worship?

About this Plan
As we enter the Christmas season, we are all eager to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the point in history where God descended into humanity to bring life to a broken world. Each day leading up to Christmas, we will provide an overview of the biblical significance of a location in Israel, along with a devotional prompt that will connect that location with the life of Jesus in Scripture.
