Big City Thrill
Once when Jesus was praying in private and His disciples were with Him, He asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?" Luke 9:18 NIV
I love big cities. I spent the weekend in Chicago recently. When I think of crowds, I easily think of Chicago or New York, another big city I love. I think of Macy's at Christmas...now that's a crowd.
I found myself on one occassion, as I rode the escalator to one of the many floors of the shopper's paradise, wondering what all the crowds were thinking. As they were buying "Christmas" presents I wondered if they had a clue who was to be the guest of honor at this birthday party.
Lately I've been going to a lot of basketball gamea. Guess what? More crowds!I wonder the same thing. I wonder if they will know who the Christ is.
You know what, I'm not sure. I don't really know what the crowds are thinking, or saying. And, in fact, the responses are probably much like the disciples gave to Jesus. "Some say a great man, others a prophet, still others a Savior."
If you know the story, then you also know that Jesus asked another question, and I think this question was what Jesus really wanted to know. He asked, "Who do YOU say that I am?"
That is the question whose answer determines Heaven or Hell. That is the life or death question. That is the question of the day; any day.
Because what you do with Jesus will determine your eternity!
No matter what the crowds may say!
