REAL ATTRACTION

RUIE PINNEY

The Bible records many instances when the multitudes thronged Christ Jesus as he went from place to place. It is recorded that, at one time, he "went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore" (Matt. 13:2). On another occasion Peter said (Luke 8:45), "Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"

Idle curiosity is not a satisfactory explanation for this attraction to Jesus. That which attracted the multitudes to the Master, wherever he went, was the spiritual quality of his thinking.

The spirituality of Jesus caused unusual happenings to take place. Water was turned into wine, a few loaves of bread were multiplied to feed thousands, the lame were made to walk and the blind to see, and on three occasions those who had seemingly passed through the portals of death were restored to their families. Such demonstrations of God's power aroused the humble seekers for Truth, God.
