A throng of silent, unheard people walking away from Jesus.

Today I saw a picture of a throng of silent, unheard people walking to an unknown destination to the right. On the left of the picture I saw fewer people than those on the right but they were relaxed and happy, listening to Jesus and their inner thoughts were being heard by Him. God wants us to have our identity in Him and for us to have an intimacy with Him. This is exemplified by Jesus and His relationship with God of which we have numerous examples of Him going off alone to commune with His Father. Similarly, in the Old Testament we are told "The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend (Exodus 33:11).
