Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
From the early days of His earthly ministry, people and crowds were attracted to Jesus. He came with news of an eternal kingdom that they could enter and He came with healing power for all manner of spiritual and physical sickness. He went boldly into their midst and they came eagerly to Him...because they found that His message and His touch brought health and peace. Today He still moves among us with the good news of the kingdom and He still touches and heals. But since He is not here as a physical person we must meet Him in a non-physical way. But when we come in faith we meet Him through faith and find the peace and healing of His message, touch and presence are as real and effective as the crowds from Galilee long ago.
