It became known that He was at home

“When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.” (MK 2: 1-2)

We can meet Jesus in so many places. Wherever He is, He is always concerned about us. Even “at home” He doesn’t look for privacy and rest but is concerned about our relationship with God—“He preached the word to them”–to those “at [His] home” and outside because “there was no longer room for them.”  Our homes are also places where He loves to be, where there is a place for “the word.”
