Matthew 4:12 says, Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;  John the Baptist had been cast into prison.  Once again, I believe that this should lead us to the understanding that following God's will does not always bring us happiness in terms of material things.  If anyone deserved to be blessed materially because of their relationship to God, then John the Baptist would have certainly qualified.  He was guilty only of calling people to repentance and preparing them for the coming of Christ.  As a result, he was thrown into prison.  This really counteracts the concept that God wants us to be happy so He will bless us materially.  We are to be happy, or content, simply because God has given us salvation through Christ.  As Jesus had just demonstrated through the temptations that Satan tempted Him with, nothing material really matters, but doing the will of God, no matter what, must be our priority.  Verse thirteen states, And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:  I believe that we can safely say that Jesus was once again being led by the Holy Spirit.  There may be times when we find ourselves in a dangerous situation that we will be led by the Holy Spirit to leave.  Still, like John the Baptist, we may end up imprisoned for our following of God's will.  In either case, God will keep us safe spiritually, if we only continue to follow Him through faith and the strengthening of the Holy Spirit.  Verse fourteen says, That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,  Then verse fifteen continues, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;  Then verse sixteen concludes, The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.  These three verses refer to the fulfillment of a prophecy by Isaiah.  Not only the region mentioned, but really the whole world sat in darkness until Christ came.  The great light that they saw, Jesus Christ, is still the great light of the world today.  Until a person accepts Christ into their life as Savior and Lord, they will still be in a spiritual darkness.  Verse seventeen declares, From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Jesus did not let the fact that John the Baptist was in prison stop Him from beginning to preach Himself.  We today cannot allow the fact that someone else may suffer for their faith keep us from proclaiming Christ as the Savior of the world.  The kingdom of God has been at hand since the coming of Christ.
