Jesus' Firm Stance on Prioritizing Teaching Over Miracles
Excerpt: Chapter 24, Four Eventful Days in Capernaum
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
It is not my Father's will that I return with you to cater to these curious ones and busy myself with fixing physical things and not those spiritual ones. I have ordained you to preach the gospel and minister to the sick, but I cannot become engrossed with healing to the exclusion of teaching. No, Andrew, I am not going back with you. Go and tell the people to believe in what we have taught them and to rejoice in the liberty of being sons of God. Then get ready to go out to the other cities of Galilee. They have already been prepared for the preaching of the good tidings of the kingdom, and that is why I came forth from the Father. Go then, and get everyone ready to leave immediately, and I will wait here for you to get back. Andrew and the other apostles, all of them now depressed, returned to Zebedee's house. They sent the crowd home and quickly prepared for the journey ahead. On Sunday afternoon, January 18, AD 28, Jesus and the apostles embarked on their first public preaching tour of the cities of Galilee.
