Touch of His hand...

As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. (Luke 4:40 NLT)

Imagine a gathering tonight in whatever village, town, or city you live in. Imagine bringing your loved ones who are sick with cancer, diabetes, mental disabilities, chronic illness, trauma injuries, etc. "there will be a free healing gathering tonight in Gladstone, and Jesus himself will be healing everybody that shows up", reads a local headline in the paper. Imagine the sun going down for the last time on someone's cancer. Imagine the impact this would have on a community, a city, a nation. No matter what the disease was...that means that the worst of the worst diseases and sick would be there. Who wouldn't want to be healed? Who wouldn't long for a touch from this man's hand? This is no ordinary man. Power was in His hands, the kind of power that is beyond anything this world has ever known. With all the best medical knowledge we have today it does not even come close to the kind of guaranteed results that Jesus gave. No insurance involved, no pill to take, no chemo treatments offered, just complete on the spot healing. One touch from His hand and Aids was gone. One touch from His hand and lung cancer disappeared. One touch from His hand and the crippled, mangled, severely disabled...were cured. This is why I love Jesus. He is like no other, He stands alone in power and greatness. Would you be convinced in that village that the Son of God stood before your very eyes?
