—Matthew 4:23-25

The rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar never interested me because the title “Superstar” does not fit with my image of my Savior. So, I was surprised when it immediately came to my mind upon reading this passage. Jesus traveled through Galilee preaching and healing—leading to His fame spreading to Syria, Jerusalem, Judea, etc. This occurred in a time with neither amplifiers, newspapers, radios, or TV to carry the verbal message. Neither were there railroads, cars, or airplanes to convey people to hear it and/or experience His healing. Word-of-mouth was the key then, just as it is with witnessing today. How are you helping to spread the “fame” of our Savior?
