Morton Presbyterian Church

Not long after Jesus rejected the devil's offer of all the power and wealth of this world's kingdoms, Jesus heard that Herod Antipas had arrested John the Baptist. Jesus chose this dangerous time to begin preaching the arrival of the kingdom of heaven. Instead of marching into the halls of power, Jesus withdrew to a place on the edge of the empire and began preaching there, the erstwhile land of Zebulon and Naphtali. Matthew notes that indeed the light has dawned on those who sat in darkness.
