 JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 12: SHOCKWAVES THROUGHOUT GALILEE 1. Key Texts• Matthew 8:5–13 — The Centurion’s Servant• Luke 7:1–10 — The Centurion’s Faith• Luke 7:11–17 — The Widow’s Son at Nain• Luke 7:18–35 — John the Baptist’s Question• Matthew 11:20–24 — Woes to Unrepentant Towns• Luke 7:36–50 — The Anointing Woman• Isaiah 35:5–6; 61:1 — Messianic signs of restoration2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Spring 28 AD—still the dry season in Galilee.• Movement spreading from Capernaum (Jesus’ base) through Nain and Bethsaida.• Trade routes, fishing villages, and Roman patrols create rapid word-of-mouth circulation.• Jesus’ fame “goes viral” across the region—he’s now known in every town and synagogue.Main AccountsCapernaum—Centurion• A Roman officer humbly appeals to a Jewish healer—a shocking role reversal.• The centurion’s understanding of authority becomes a model of faith.• Jesus praises him publicly: “Not even in Israel have I found such faith.”• The Empire’s representative becomes the first Gentile example of Kingdom allegiance.Nain—Widow’s Son• A funeral procession for a widow’s only son—symbolizing total loss and vulnerability.• Jesus halts the crowd, speaks directly to the dead, and restores the young man to life.• The crowd exclaims, “God has visited His people!”—recognizing the arrival of God’s reign.John the Baptist’s Question• From Herod’s prison, John sends messengers: “Are you the one who is to come?”• Jesus responds with Isaiah’s language: “The blind see, the lame walk, the dead are raised…”• Strategic ambiguity: Jesus lets the signs speak for themselves to avoid premature execution.Bethsaida & Chorazin—Refusal to Respond• Despite miracles, these towns remain unmoved.• Jesus rebukes them sharply: even pagan cities would have repented.The Anointing Woman (Luke 7:36–50)• A Pharisee invites Jesus to dinner; an uninvited “sinner” interrupts.• She kneels, weeps, and anoints his feet with perfume and tears.• Public recognition of the unseen: she becomes a living parable of mercy and devotion.3. Main Point• Scene 12 marks Jesus’ transition from local teacher to public phenomenon.• Miracles, rumors, and controversy send shockwaves throughout Galilee.• Responses divide:– The Centurion—faith.– John—doubt.– Bethsaida—apathy.– The Woman—love.4. Exegetical Insight• Greek: Exousia (authority)—“the power to act.” The centurion recognizes in Jesus the same command structure he exercises in Rome.• Aramaic: “Young man, arise” (Luke 7:14) = a command that echoes creative power itself.• Intertextual echo: Isaiah 35 & 61—the prophetic template Jesus uses to identify his mission to John.• Social insight: The “sinner woman” scene reverses purity hierarchies—Jesus elevates devotion above reputation.• Structural observation: Luke’s sequence—faith (centurion), life (widow), doubt (John), rejection (towns), love (woman)—mirrors the escalating revelation of Kingdom inclusion.5. Reflection Questions• Where do you see yourself in this scene—faithful centurion, doubting prophet, indifferent towns, or weeping woman?• How does Jesus’ growing fame challenge your understanding of success and influence?• Have you ever felt unseen or uninvited like the woman in the Pharisee’s house? How does Jesus’ response speak to you?• What miracles or mercies of God have you ignored because they didn’t come in the form you expected?6. Action Step / Challenge• Read Luke 7 slowly this week—trace the movement from power to compassion.• Reflect on how Jesus’ authority is shown through mercy rather than dominance.• Do one intentional act of seeing and affirming someone who’s been overlooked.• Journal or post a short reflection on how Jesus’ “viral” compassion changes how you define influence.Buy the books!
