The Rock Star with No Guitar!

He was a rock star with no guitar. No PR man. No manager. No Website. No cell phones. No e-mail. No posters. No airplay. Yet multitudes swarmed to receive His loving energy.

I love the Bible record of Jesus’ life, His words and His stunning acts.  When I was a teenager, I couldn’t stay still. I had to get out of the house and find some action of some kind.  But, at the age of 17, when my heart was drawn to Jesus, I wanted to stay home and read more about this one of a kind man, hear His words and be with Him as He changed people’s lives.  He was the most magnetic man who ever lived.

“a great multitude from Galilee followed him; hearing all that he was doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon.  He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him; for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.  Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, ‘You are the Son of God!’” (Matthew 3:7-12)

It was not the great who sought Him. The Bible says: “…the common people heard Him gladly.” The common people were so drawn to him, wanting to get as close as possible to see Him and receive His healing touch. Many are too proud today to even consider coming to Him. In truth, it is the strong who can admit that they, too, need the healing touch of the Son of God! Humbling one’s self is not for the weak, but the strong. “He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty” (Luke 1:53).  He is only a whisper away.
