FRUITFUL greetings Cherished one. The ministry of Jesus Christ attracted a lot of people including what the scripture called a great multitude (Matthew 4:25). Great multitudes is synonymous with “large or huge crowds”. This was one reason the Jewish leaders set their eyes to hate Him; they thought He was gaining too much attention from the people and could win them to His side politically. In our focal text, Jesus made it clear that the people followed Him because He fed them by a miracle not because they believed in Him.

Beloved, people love miracles; since they are always accustomed to the natural anything with a spice of the supernatural ignites their interest. So it isn’t today that many people throng to seek miracles. It’s been happening and will keep on happening. Jesus implies that the main aim one ought to follow Him is to believe Him, not just be a miracle seeker. *Miracle seekers are mostly “situational or need driven” than “believe- transformation driven”. They mostly believe in the power of God to change their situations not necessary for salvation.

So many were healed in the Bible who didn’t even believe in the person of Jesus Christ. From the statement of Christ, we have some categories of followers, the crowd (multitude), the believers (who become the called and the chosen). The crowd is not always transformed but the believers are always transformed because they become disciples (students of the Master). Live beyond the crowd mindset and walk as a believer of Jesus Christ, not just a miracle seeker or situations-driven Christian. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
