    Why Was Jesus So Popular? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 18, 2023
     | 1,534 views

    VERSE 15 IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS PASSAGE: This is a story and testament to Jesus’ quickly rising popularity early in His ministry. - Luke 5:15. - It would be easy to see this passage as another miracle story, but I think it serves a more specific purpose in Luke’s gospel. Jesus has just called ...read more
