Why Would it be Wrong to Wait upon Jesus?

Luke 8:40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

Jesus had just returned from a very eventful evening east of the Sea of Galilee.  There is a big crowd gathered to meet Jesus to the point of suffocation!  Their application of all they learned of Jesus in His hometown is to wait for Him.  This is good right?  Well, if Jesus told you to wait, absolutely, but even in the waiting, we occupy our time doing His will on earth as it is in heaven.  Time is running out!  The time isn't to wait but to act upon and follow Jesus.  When we are hearers only, we miss so much experience our LORD wants to reveal to us.  We will never fulfill the Great Commission by standing around.  The simple word GO involves action.  I have decided long ago, I refuse to be a part of a crowd but want to follow the LORD who has power to change me.  I love experiencing Him and I can only do this if I follow His leading, not waiting around for Him to return.
