JESUS Loves ALL the Little Children...

THIS means you too...

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

- Isaiah 11:1-10 The Holy Bible, KJV

The Center of Christ's Earthly Ministry...

This hillside is the traditional site of the Savior’s Sermon on the Mount (see Matt. 5-7).

Looking southwest over the northwest corner of the Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake. Tiberias is located on the far side of the shore and to the far left of the photograph. The hill in the center foreground is the traditional site of the Mount of Beatitudes. Capernaum is to the left, out of the photograph.
Significant Events:
The Savior spent much of his mortal ministry in this region. Here he called and ordained the Twelve Apostles (Matt. 4:18-22; 10:1-4; Mark 1:16-20; 2:13-14; 3:7; 13-19; Luke 5:1-11), taught the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7), and taught in parables (Matt. 13:1-52; Mark 4:1-34). Miracles he performed include the following: he healed a leper (Matt. 8:1-4); calmed a storm (Matt. 8:23-27); cast out of a young man a legion of devils, who then entered into swine that ran into the sea (Matt. 8:28-34); raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead (Matt. 9:18-33; Mark 5:22-24, 35-43); fed the 5,000 and the 4,000 (Matt. 14:14-21; 15:32-38); commanded his disciples to cast their nets, by which they caught many fish (Luke 5:1-6); healed many people (Matt. 15:29-31; Mark 3:7-12); and appeared after his Resurrection to teach his disciples (Mark 14:27-28; 16:7; John 21:1-23).
