HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Matthewনমুনা

Reaching Out

Jesus and the disciples arrived at a small town and word spread fast that the healer was present. People from all over brought their sick loved ones in the hopes that Jesus would heal them.

All who touched Jesus were healed. Notice the key words in this story, all who touched. Touching required that the sick person would have to stretch beyond their comfort zone, push past the pain and reach out. The Bible doesn’t say all the sick were healed that day, only the sick people who touched Jesus. They demonstrated an act of faith by mustering any strength they had to reach out to Jesus. He was their Great Physician and ultimately their healer.
