It is important to learn about the geography where Christ ministered through His public ministry because then one could see who His audience was. Jesus continually sought after the poor, broken, hurt, etc. people. This translates to the fact that Jesus cares about all people and not just those of high status. On a geographic scale, it is important to learn about where Christ ministered so then once can see how He was able to create a kingdom that expanded over a vast amount of land.

For myself I believe it’s important to learn or familiarize myself with the geography of Jesus ministry because it paints a broad picture and helps begin the journey of connecting the dots to understanding him and his ministry more. Who he was speaking to directly and where our Christian faith really started.
