Jesus Has such magnetic Personality that attracts Multitudes

Matthew 19:2  explains such Power of attraction that "Great multitudes followed Him," and Mark 1:37 - "All men seek for Thee..."

In the Roman Theater, a joyful expression usually uttered for the amazement of the audience: "I am the Man, Yeah!!" and welcomed with thunderous plaudits and applause was abundantly true of the Son of Man, "I am the  Man, and nothing that touches humanity is foreign to Me." This was true during His earthly life, and it is true today and will be true always, and we have clear proof and illustration of this in the Gospel accounts of the Apostles. 

In the beginning of creation, our Lord blesses man and wife as they live in holy wedlock and they became ONE ; He takes their children in His arms; inspires young men and women with the greatest ideals and inspires minds of philosophers and others to talk about Him. He warns men against the evil use of wealth and power and promises to those who are willing to pass through this life, denying themselves the joys of this world, and with the agapeic  love to others, and in the end shall be infinitely compensated.

There is no phase of human life which Jesus is not willing to share, and through all relationships and circumstances He waits to breathe the fragrance of perfect love. Is not that a greatest expectation  which we all need, but which so many miss? Why do so many marriages turn out bad ? Is it not often because each seeks rather to get than to give, to be ministered to rather than to minister? If each were inspired by a love that made the other the center of thought and care and tenderness, the wedding-bells would ring on through all the passing years, and more and more enjoyable marriages.

Christ's love is so attractive that when He is rightly presented boys and girls will turn to Him as flowers turn to the sun. But O God!! by our evil example and failure we so often forbid them. How poor is our appreciation and response to His love! We are willing to keep the commandments of a moral and respectable life because it suits and pleases us, but when it comes to following Him and renouncing wealth, position, and self-pleasing for His dear sake, we turn back and hesitate! Of course,  we admire His ideals and teaching, but so often we go sorrowfully and tearfully away because we really love ourselves more than we love Him!

Thank You Lord,
