Luke 4:42-43
"Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them.
But He said to them, "I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also because for this purpose I have been sent".
Even though Jesus was popular with the crowd described in this verse, He knew that He could not stay with them because His purpose was to preach to people far beyond this crowd.
He did not stay because the crowd liked Him, He left because thats what God wanted Him to do.
Are you purpose-driven or are you a crowd-pleaser???
