I can't believe we are going to argue about this. What in the world do you think He was doing when he was out and about -- looking for a good kosher bar(mitzfa)?????? Get a life. The book says that He came to SEEK and save the lost. You must have been hiding in the bushes. He was looking for them and they responded.
And why this question "And when have you done the works he did and greater??? " Got to keep up with your meds, Judy.

They sought him out JD because of the "works" - He not only spoke with authority which was different
from the scribes and the pharisees. He healed ppl and made them well; and at least once he pleaded for
ppl to "believe him for the works sake" .. Once word got around he couldn't get away from the crowds who
followed him. Gathering an audience. You've got to be kidding. When have you had to get in a boat to keep
ppl away from you? And when have you done the works he did and greater???

I guess it depends on how you look at it. He walked the streets of where ever and they saw Him, or heard that He was in town and they came to Him. So who came to who. He showed up with no sense of anticipation for ministry ?? I think not.The SErmon on the Mount. What must have happened there? He made Himself available and they surrounded Him. Who came to who?To my way of thinking, to say that He did not go to the people is profoundly off point !!!The very incarnation is God making Himself available to us, seeking us out, "learning the ways of life" (Acts 2:28) and saving us.Think of it this way - He comes to town and starts down the main drag and the people start following Him. It's not that they came to Him so much as they caught up to Him while He was gathering his audience.Make sense???JD

DAVEH: Why is that so ridiculous, John? Isn't that what the Bible implies? Does it not even go so far to suggest that he did not want to personally deal with gentiles, but rather sent his apostles to minister to them instead?
The most ridiculous item of the day goes to Judge Judy:Christ ministered to those who came to Him. He did not go out searching for publicansor sinners ...............................-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
