Focus On One Among the Crowd

Smart Christian (what a name for a website) posts this little reminder of how important (and biblical) it is for us to focus on one person among the crowd.

When we read the Gospels, we see Jesus’ love for individuals among the crowds. In fact, he often rejected the crowds to minister to a single person.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't focus on the crowds, too.  There are plenty of examples of Jesus teacher the crowds, even distancing himself (in a boat) to be better heard by the crowd.

I know for me though, I get caught up by the crowds and realize I don't even know the names of some of the kids I'm talking to.
