Knowing God - He Makes Himself Available



Matt 13:1
 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Jesus left the crowds and sat by the sea side.  The crowds followed him there.  Why did he leave the house?  Why did he go to another location?  The bible doesn’t clearly let us in on this but we can learn from His example.  The house had a limited amount of seating.  Right before this, we see that Jesus’ family was standing outside of the house and was having a difficult time getting to Him.  Perhaps Jesus moved to the seaside to make Himself available to more people.  Jesus came to seek and save the lost.  He came that we would know the One and True God.  Jesus went to a different location where many could come and hear Him.  Like Jesus, it is important that we make ourselves available.  Sometimes the Lord may have us change jobs, move or even sit in a different location at church so that we might be available to love and minister to someone.  Let us be sensitive to the changes in our location and trust that He is leading us for His purposes.
