In Line to See Jesus

Luke 12 begins with an interesting tidbit: Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples… (Luke 12:1) I had never noticed the trampling phrase before. Not that it wasn’t there. Just didn’t register in my thoughts. Never thought about how Jesus had become so famous people climbed over each other to get near him.
