How long was Christ's earthly ministry and where did He travel?
Christ's earthly ministry lasted three years. During that time He traveled up and down the highways and byways of the little nation of Israel. Multitudes followed Him, though not all were believers; many came for free lunches or healings, but His healings proved who He was.
Les explains that after Christ's three years of earthly ministry, He had traveled up and down the highways and byways of the little nation of Israel. Les cautions that most people are misled into thinking all the multitudes that followed Jesus everywhere He went were believers; they were not. They followed not because they placed faith in Him, but because He handed out free lunches and held healing meetings. Les says the only reason He healed them all was to prove who He was, and He would not have a miscarriage, so everything He healed was healed, yet they were not believers. By the end of His three years, and after His crucifixion and resurrection, a group of believers met in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. In Acts 1:15 Peter stood up among the disciples, and the number of names together was about 120.
