Jesus Heals ALL Who Touch Him

"They landed at Gennesaret. The news of their arrival spread quickly throughout the city, and soon people were rushing around, telling everyone to bring in their sick to be healed. The sick begged Him to let them touch even the tassel of His robe, and all who did were healed."

~ Matthew 14:34-36 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "The people recognized Jesus as a great healer, but how many understood who He truly was? They came to Jesus for physical healing, but did they come for spiritual healing? They came to prolong their lives on earth, but did they come to secure their eternal lives? People may seek Jesus to learn valuable lessons from His life or in hopes of finding relief from pain. But we have missed Jesus' whole message if we seek Him only to heal our bodies but not our souls, if we look to Him for help only in this life, rather than for His eternal plan for us. Only when we understand the real Jesus Christ can we appreciate how He can truly change our lives."
