Lost in the Crowds?
Luke 8:42 But as He (Jesus) went, the multitudes thronged Him.
Sounds amazing right? Jesus being so famous and everyone is pressing in to Him. Yet the crowds are a sad story when it comes to actually pressing into Jesus and receiving a miracle. Jesus is just alright with almost everyone until He inconveniences them by one of His plethora of sayings. You must partake of Me or you have no life in you, or blessed are you who do what I say, not just hear.
The multitudes suffocate the life out of anything good but a true seeker of Jesus Christ grabs hold of Jesus' words and wont let go. They experience the living power of God in ways the LORD desires them too. In between two of these such wonderful examples of desperate faith is a sad empty group called a multitude. They don't follow Jesus. They don't personally experience Him, as far as I have read. They just use their natural senses and are lead by their unregenerate hearts to hear only. Yet, in the amazing power of the Spirit, He will harvest even many of these as they leave their empty hopeless lives, pickup their cross, and follow Jesus. Make no mistake about it, I don't want to bank on the idea that being in the crowd will at all advance me to personal interaction with my LORD.
