Imagine that you were living in the time of Christ. How would you have reacted to Him if He passed through the place where you lived? Would you have wondered what all the excitement was about? Would you have gone out to the street and watched Him go by? Would you have left your job to go hear Him when He spoke? Would you have stood wide-eyed and heart-filled with wonder? Would you have wanted to get His autograph?
Or, would you have wondered why the authorities didn’t step in before things got out of hand? Would you have questioned His association with some of ‘those kinds of people?’ Would you have doubted some of the stories regarding His miraculous works and the testimony of those who were healed by His word or the touch of His hand? Would you have greeted Him with rejoicing one day and called for His execution a few days later? Would you have doubts about His claims of divinity when He claimed to be the Son of God who came ‘to seek and to save the lost.’
