“Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.” Mark 5:24
I watched my siblings play a lot. I watched as one brother excelled in a few sports, as another played in the best band in Dixie in the late 70’s . When I watched them do remarkable things it made me want to all the more.
The Gospel is filled with situations where Jesus was followed by crowds. Sometimes, He would seek privacy, but the crowd would find Him anyway. They followed because Jesus performed feats they could not (healing the sick, disposing of demons, etc.) Then He used their desire as a platform to speak the Truth and love of God to them. He performed remarkable things, so He had the ears of everyone who followed.
How closely do people watch your life? How about your family? Whatever the case, you have an influence. The question is, what are you doing with that influence? Are you using it for good of sharing Jesus with others?
