We celebrate Christ Jesus because of his popularity
• People attended the Baptism of John and John referenced Christ Jesus
• Jesus entered the synagogue and preached and taught and healed all manner of people

Why did the people follow Jesus Christ
• Not because He only preached the Gospel of "Love" "Wealth" or "Prosperity"
• Not because He was afraid to confront people and call out their sin
• Not because He tried to make people feel good

• Do good to them that despitefully use you
