WEEKLY MEDITATION

grain-wheatJesus attracted people. There was always a crowd around Him. That was because of His words ? no one had ever before spoken as He did ? and at the same time because of His actions. Man, in his great need for salvation and love, finds the solution to his problems, and finds life in Jesus. In Jesus he discovers his Spring, his happiness, his joy, and the restoration of body and soul. That is why people sought Jesus and solicited Him so relentlessly that He barely had time to rest. He attracted people with His goodness and unselfish love. However, Jesus most powerfully draws people to Himself with His cross. He told us this when He said, "When I am lifted from this earth I will draw all people to Myself!" The cross is the clearest sign of Christ's total love. From the cross, His heart spoke. Today the cross still remains the sign with which Jesus desires to draw us to Himself.
