Bethany – v2

Not Bethlehem

where he was born

nor Nazareth where he grew up

not Capernaum where he preached

certainly not Jerusalem

His place of trial

wanting to be Bethany

a place of comfort

A safe place for Jesus

a refuge with friends

one who would not pressure

no magic tricks, no demons,

a place of refuge, not challenge,

Bethany, their home,

returning their often

on His journey home.
