"As he went, the crowds pressed in on him."(Luke 8:42b)
The last two days in our country talk of crowds has been prominent. We heard about the crowds at the inauguration, and we're now listening to the debate as to how big the crowd was. But make no mistake there was still a crowd.
Yesterday many crowds gathered in cities world wide. Some very large, some smaller, no real way of knowing how truly large, but a crowd none the less.
All who were in attendance at either event reported the energy in that crowd. Truth be told any crowd will have an energy of its own. When I'm at a sold out concert there's energy being surrounded by 1000's of people. Size will never dictate energy.
Jesus seemed to draw crowds who often pressed in on him. People touching him all the time. Energy for healing coming forth.
And it is Christ's presence in those moments that for me controls the energy and can harness it for good. There's a reason we pray that when two or three are gathered he is in the midst of it. Not a record crowd, but big enough for good things to happen.
Blessings,
Ed
