Having an image like a map makes it more realistic and helps with understanding.

Geography is important to know about any story. It lets the reader know where Jesus was when he ministered and that helps us to know the people he was ministering to at different locations.

It helps bring things to perspective that we wouldn’t already understand. References to places and bodies of water help tie things together. It also ties into the Old Testament stories.

It helps to bring everything into connection and bring it to more of a reality for us.

Its important in that we can see where He lived and worked while he was here on earth. Just seeing the areas where He lived and worked also puts into focus all the places Jesus was and just how real He is.
