—Luke 6:17-23
by: Leota Stevens.
I marvel at these words—they are powerful and commanding of our attention! Look closely at this scene and envision the multitude of humanity pressing their way into the presence of Jesus. These people were aware of their needs, they were oppressed, diseased and tormented, and they wanted to be free of their suffering. They were desirous of being touched by the only One who could bring them true healing. Did Jesus scold them, or turn them away, or demand to have his own private “bubble-zone”? No! By his compassion and mercy he healed them all. I’m so glad that he never changes.
