Power of Touch

 


Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed. 
(Mark 6:56)




The power of faith and the importance of seeking Jesus brings healing and restoration. Faith in Jesus can lead to physical and spiritual healing. We should recognize Jesus in our lives and be aware of His presence.

Jesus will never turn away from those seeking help; instead, He offers healing and compassion. His love is boundless and His willingness to help extend to all those in need.


Wherever villages or towns He came, 
The sick and weary called His name. 
In marketplaces, they gathered near, 
With hope and faith, they shed their fear.

They begged to touch His tassel bright, 
To feel His healing, to see the light. 
And as they reached with trembling hand, 
His grace and love spread through the land.

For every touch, a miracle unveiled, 
In His presence, no sickness prevailed. 
With faith so strong, their hearts were healed, 
In Jesus' love, their fate was sealed.


Lord Jesus, 

You traveled through villages, towns, and countryside, bringing hope and healing to those in need. We come before You with faith, seeking Your touch to heal our hearts and bodies.

Grant us the grace to believe in Your power, and to reach out with faith, knowing that even the smallest touch of Your love can bring profound healing and peace.

Help us to trust in Your mercy, and to find comfort in Your presence. May Your healing grace flow through us, restoring us to wholeness and strength.

Amen.

53 After making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. 54 As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. 55 They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
