If you plan to follow Jesus’s command to go and tell everyone about him, you will need to be among people. I know what you’re thinking, but you can’t always avoid people. After his sermon on the mountain, a multitude followed him. Even though his teachings were to the point and maybe a bit hard to swallow, he taught with authority, so they knew he was the real deal. He came down and began his healing ministry.
When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Matthew 8:1
The most famous man/God of all time spent time with his fans. Not like today’s “gods,” celebrities, politicians, and sports heroes, who hide out and avoid people for fear that they will be harmed. No, Jesus was not fearful, and even spent time with individuals, teaching and healing everywhere he ventured. I’m a little envious of those people who got to meet him in the flesh. Can you imagine being able to worship without fear of crossing the line into idolatry because Jesus was the One True God? Even now, especially now, it’s okay to celebrate him and raise him above others. Worship and praise him with all your heart because he is worthy.
