THE FANS...



When we watch entertainment shows on TV or concerts of artists, we often see people so alive, shouting, raising banners of their idols, they cry and laugh with them. There are those who even buy memorabilia, follow their idol’s every concert, watch every movie. Wherever they may be, these people will be there.

They are the fans, the dictionary says they are the enthusiastic supporters…But there are some fans who will fight for their idols even hurting others, they are the fanatics…Why do fans persevere? 
Because they see something in their idols that they like and they look up to them. They feel good and happy seeing them…

In Mark 6:53-56, many people were fans of Jesus, they follow Him wherever He went. Why? Not to listen to God’s Word but to be freed from sickness, to get healed…

Jesus doesn’t want fans who only want entertainment, He wants followers who will seek God to be transformed, leaving their old ways and living His teachings...

At this moment, let’s pause and reflect on this: Am I just a fan or a passionate follower of Jesus?  

Shining Heart for you!
