[53] After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. They brought the boat to shore and climbed out. The people recognized Jesus at once, and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was.

Wherever he went - in villages, cities, or the countryside - they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. 

They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.

Mark 6:53-56 NLT

What a beautiful account of people responding to the needs of others, running to get them, carrying the sick, bringing them to Jesus.

"And all who touched him were healed".

While we may have experienced healing in some way, one day, we will see Jesus face-to-face too.

And his touch will heal us.

Heal you.

heal me.

All that is broken will be unbroken.

All that is unhealed, restored, replenished, renewed.

All that is hurt, unhurt. 

One day all will be made new.

This is the redemptive strand held in this story for us.

One day we will see Jesus face-to-face...
