Jesus and the Crowds
Do you like being around people or do you prefer a quiet evening by yourself? Someone might say, “I love being around people. I'm an extrovert.” That means they're outgoing, talkative and social. On the other hand, a person may be an introvert. Shy and not verbose they are mainly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings. Usually they don't like being around a lot of people. Was Jesus an introvert or an extrovert? That's an interesting question. Reading through the
Gospel of Mark again I noticed how often crowds gathered around Jesus, some large (6-7 thousand), and some small (30-40). Often when crowds gathered Jesus was moved with compassion. Does that mean he loves being around people? I also noticed how often he “withdrew” with his disciples to get away from the crowds. On several occasions Jesus simply wanted to be alone. He often sought solitude with his heavenly Father. Does that mean he is an introvert? Did he merely tolerate the crowds and live for the quiet times alone, with his disciples or his Father? What about loneliness. Was Jesus ever lonely? That is a major problem. A study by the American Council of Life Insurance reported that the most lonely group in America are college students. Surprising? Jesus made a practice of finding solitude and he also experienced deep loneliness. What's the difference?
How do you feel crowds?
Do you like alone or crowds? Why?
we need time to be alone to do our own persnal things, ex. thinking, resting .....
and the most thing is to be with God alone
there is no right or wrong that you are beening alone or crowds
but we need to do correct things in the situation
do our best in anytime
have a good week
In Christ
