Jesus Made His Crowds Smaller
Illustration★★★★JESUS was the only preacher who made His congregations
smaller with His sermons. He would have big crowds following
Him and then He would come up with a line like “Unless you
deny your mother and father, yea, your own life, you cannot be
My disciple.” The Bible says those people left. Why? Because
He never let the crowd control the truth.
The point
Jesus was unique among preachers in making His congregations smaller by preaching costly truth that required real discipleship, not accommodating crowds' preferences.
