God Has Come to Help

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Luke 6:17- 7:17; Matt. 8:5-13; John 4:46-54

And the whole multitude sought to touch Him… Luke 6:19

The narrative in Luke 6–7 echoes the message found in Matthew’s record of the Sermon on the Mount—a message that proved irresistible to the crowds around Jesus.

The people living in Israel at the time of Christ desperately wanted to hear His message. They wanted to listen to His words of truth and joyous hope spoken with authority from on high (Matt. 7:29; Mark 1:22; Heb. 1:9). They couldn’t comprehend what drew them to Him, but they knew they wanted to be near this Teacher.
