Jesus was in one of the towns where there was also a man covered with a skin disease. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged, “Lord, if you want, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do want to. Be clean.” Instantly, the skin disease left him. Jesus ordered him not to tell anyone. “Instead,” Jesus said, “go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses instructed. This will be a testimony to them.” News of him spread even more and huge crowds gathered to listen and to be healed from their illnesses. But Jesus would withdraw to deserted places for prayer. (Luke 5:12-16, CEB)
News of what Jesus had done spread throughout the land, and “even more and huge crowds gathered to listen and to be healed.” They gathered to hear what He had to teach and for Him to heal them.
If you knew you could be healed from whatever was wrong, would you not go and listen to whatever you had to in order to be healed?
We would all go and listen to that presentation even if it was boring to be healed. We have already endured so much; what is one lecture?
And to have it be the wisdom of the creator of the universe!
Oh, what I would not give to have been able to gether with them.
