The whole crowd wanted to touch him, because power was going out from him and he was healing everyone.
Luke 6:19 CEB
In today's world we lose the understanding of the attraction that Jesus had.
People didn't want a "piece" of him but he was famous for entertaining people. They wanted a "piece" of Jesus because He was healing everybody. After Jesus, healed people he taught them and invited them into a relationship that required something - a changed life. Ask the Zacheaus? or The Rich Young Ruler? or Nicodemus?
That is perhaps the problem that we have with how we evangelize today. We 'sell' Jesus short. We try to 'sell' the Jesus that makes problems go away. We forget the Jesus that wants a relationship day after day.
Are you following Jesus because you want something in the life?
Then stop playing the part of a groupie and become His disciple.
Study with Him.
Pray with Him.
Live with Him.
Become like Him . . .
