Today we will get a fast-paced glance at what Jesus was doing, and how people responded to Him. He came and preached the good news of the Gospel. He came to show compassion to those who have been wild and disobedient, as well as to those who patiently longed and looked for the coming Messiah.
Will those whose lives have been filled with sin turn and repent and receive the Lord Jesus and believe the Gospel?
How would you have responded to Jesus? How are you responding to Him now? These are good questions to ask ourselves as we consider the nine responses to Jesus that we find in this chapter – from that of Peter and Andrew who left their jobs to become fishers of men, to that of the leper who proclaimed abroad how Jesus had touched and healed him.
Are we willing to leave things and even people behind in order to follow Jesus? Would you follow Him immediately? Do you love Jesus, or do you just love the stuff He gives you? Do you live under His authority? Do you live life for Jesus' mission? Do you learn from Him and listen to Him? Do you follow Him and obey Him? Do you repent of your sins and turn from them? Do you respond to Jesus with faith?
