—Matthew 14:34-36

The men of Gennesaret recognized Jesus as He came to their land and called for everyone to come who needed healing. Their request of Jesus was not for Him to touch them, only that He would let them touch the fringe of His garment. Sometimes I feel like I need a big dose of Jesus for Him to seem “real” to me. I want an emotional experience or word from Him that reassures me of His power and presence. We need to have the faith of the men of Gennesaret—a confidence that even a touch of His garment gives all the power we need.
