“So His fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and He healed them. And great crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.” – Matthew 4:24-25
Crowds followed Him. Listened to Him. He was changing everything.
Watch what happened…
People were healed.
Delivered.
Those who would not be touched by people were now being touched by God.
Women were treated differently.
The poor were treated differently.
Truth was taught. Some walked away. Jesus let them go.
Jesus revived hope, expectation, hunger, and joy.
Because He showed up.
Everything became about this man, Jesus.
It threatened and offended religious spirits who held man-made power and fattened themselves on their own superiority.
He didn’t care.
Lord, come. Do it again.
Heal us, deliver us, touch us. Save us.
Offend us.
Wring out from us everything that is no longer about You, from You, and for You.
Let the crowds gather to be revived by You, not entertained by us.
Come Lord Jesus, and change everything.
