Mark 6: 53-56
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
The word of his healings was spreading
to persons wherever he went.
When he stepped from the boat to shore
the people recognized an event.
The people brought the sick on mats
to the areas where Jesus was.
No matter what town he moved to next
the crowds stirred in a loud buzz.
The success was more than the healings
but in those who brought others to him
and he was able to touch of be touched
by those who went out on a limb.
Our task today is like those back then
who excitedly invited friends
to participate in the fellowship
where God’s graceful love transcends.
