In our craze for bigness and our obsession for statistics, we have gathered a motley and unwieldy multitude. We have called it mobilization but it has really been mob-ilization. Our Lord was never impressed with the enthusiasm of a crowd. Many believed on His name but He did not trust them ( John 2:23-25). He sobered another throng with three “cannots” (Luke 14:25-33). He preached away another host who wanted to make Him king (john 6). He knew that one day a multitude would greet Him with hosannas and a few days later shout, “Crucify Him!”
