Just to Touch the Fringe
Jesus and his followers went across the lake. They came to
shore at Gennesaret. They tied the boat there. When they were
out of the boat, the people saw Jesus. They knew who he was.
The people ran {to tell other people} everywhere in that area
{that Jesus was there}. The people brought sick people on
beds to every place Jesus went. Jesus went into towns and
cities and farms around that area. And every place Jesus
went, the people brought sick people to the market places.
They begged Jesus to let them touch any part of his coat. And
all the people that touched him were healed.
-- Mark 6:53-56 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' power is fully displayed through a whole series of ministry
moments in this context. However, many more people than just the
disciples realized Jesus had great power to heal, bless, and deliver
from Satan. The crowds knew. They swarmed him. They anticipated his
next move. They dogged his steps. They brought their sick to him. Jesus
was the one who had the power and they knew it. The real question is
whether we know it. Do we trust he has the power to help us in our time
of need? Do we believe that his power is real or is it just a figment
of an overactive religious imagination? I don't know about you, but I
believe!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Lord God Almighty, thank you for giving Jesus all power and authority.
I believe he is glorious, almighty, and powerful! May Jesus' power be
displayed in my heart, my words, and my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
