Praise God the Son has come! How many of you have seen what God has done and look forward to seeing what our God will do?

Matthew 4: 12–14 (NKJV)

Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying.....

• Jesus just finished his 40 day fast

• Nazareth behind him, Capernaum in front of him

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES BEGIN TO UNFOLD:

Matthew 4: 15–17 (NKJV) “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”

• The people sit in darkness, surrounded by death

• Praise God The Son Has Come

I John 1:7 (NIV) But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Acts 26 15-16 NIV)

“Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.

Acts 26 17–18 (NIV) I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

• From darkness to light.

* From the power of satan to God.

*From sin to sanctification by faith
