Located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, the city of Capernaum plays the setting in many of our favorite stories and miracles in the New Testament. We read accounts of Jesus’ power put on full display—the centurion’s son healed (Matthew 8:5 13), stormy seas became instantly calm (John 6:16 21), and many more. The people who lived, worked, and spent time in this city witnessed Jesus’ identity firsthand —including a simple man named Simeon (later Peter) and his family. But while many saw and heard these things, only a few understood what the greatest act of love Jesus came to do for them truly was. Yet those who did understand—like Peter—were forever changed by the open invitation to follow the long awaited Messiah.
