Mark 3:10 “For Jesus had healed many; insomuch that the crowd pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had plagues.” Comment: Jesus had just healed a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath and the religious leaders were furious! They plotted together how to kill him! However the crowd had just the opposite response! No one could heal like this except God! Massive crowds followed Jesus! If we could just touch him we will be healed! Jesus can touch you today during this Coronavirus plague! Jesus was in danger of being trampled by the crowds! He had his disciples prepare a boat so he could go on the other side of the lake and get away! Jesus knew he must only die on a Cross! For your disease and mine! For our sin! Touching each other as humans promotes sickness and disease! We spread pandemics! We spread sin! Jesus was more than human! He was God in the flesh! One touch of the Savior and disease and death are gone! Ask Jesus to touch you! God sacrificed himself for you! Most men will sacrifice you for their gain! The Kingdom of God is a sacrificial system! The higher sacrificing for the lesser! Then after the sacrifice the lesser becomes the greater! Nothing can compare to the love of God! The crowd knew this! They experienced his love! The politicians and religious leaders refused to believe with no benefit! They opposed Christ because they viewed him as competition to their earthly kingdoms! Jesus was taking the worship of the people away from them! He was a threat to their systems! The same is true today 21 centuries later! That is why politicians craft laws to oppose the Kingdom of God! Laws to oppose followers of Christ! Persecutions! Religious leaders inventing another way to heaven than through Christ! Today as then God is still God and Satan is still Satan! You have already made a choice who you are following! Are you on the wrong road? I love that old hymn out of India! I have decided to follow Jesus! No turning back! The Cross before me and the world behind me! Have you decided to follow Jesus? Politicians and religious leaders can do some good things but they cannot raise you from the dead! But Jesus will! Some to everlasting redemption and some to judgment! The choice while still on earth is yours to make! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
