Jesus fed 5000 but only 500 followed him after lunch. He had 12 disciples but only 3 went further in the garden, and only 1 stood with him at the cross. The closer you get to the cross the smaller the crowd becomes. (T F Tenney )
As Gina Christian adds: “But only the Holy Spirit went to the desert with Him. Because there are just some places you will go that no one will be with you but the Spirit of God.”
