Do you like being around people? Or maybe a better question is: Do people like being around you?
In the case of Jesus, the answers are “yes” and “yes.” Check this out:
When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that He was back home. Soon the house where He was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. (Mark 2:1-2)
People like being with Jesus.
They invited Him to their weddings…
They invited Him to their parties…
They invited Him to their dinners…
And when Jesus showed up somewhere, people flocked to that house.
If you and I are Christians—followers of Jesus Christ—the same thing should be said of us: People should like having us around, and they should like being around us.
