Luke 6 ~ came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases

God is Good

In Wonder, sung by the Newsboys

Luke 6:17-19

And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, ¹⁸ who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. ¹⁹ And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.



Jesus is still a hero today.  The Scripture passage does not say everyone who felt worthy and never had introspection showed up. It does not say the righteous only showed up. It does not say Jesus picked only the holy. The joy of Wonder. Jesus, choosing to be GOD, healed them all.  I don't know about you, but if I could do that - I sure would. We are all invited to go Home. Jesus gets to do this for all of His Chosen ones when they arrive at the 12 open gates of Heaven. 

The desire of this blogger to reach out not only to those blessed to believe in faith and have the blessing of:

John 20:29

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

And also those who really don't know and have always wanted to know. When you look at this passage, it is incredible. Yet the historical records of the Talmud and Josephus, who was the Historian to three Roman Emperors and a General for Judea, says Jesus was killed for being a righteous man. Josephus goes on to say Jesus brother died for saying Jesus is LORD. Josephus notes several men claimed to be the Messiah, but their followers quickly dispersed after their leader died. Josephus says in wonder, the followers of Jesus continue. Jesus' own brothers then began to risk all to proclaim Jesus as LORD. Only 16 years after Jesus died in an obscure Roman province, a mere suburb of Syria, Judea, the name of JESUS began to worry the Roman Emperors for 400 years.

1 Corinthians 9:5 

Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

It was not in the best interest for peace and welfare to proclaim, in the Judean or Roman world, Jesus as LORD, yet that is one of the reasons Jesus gave His Mother to John. Jesus told us in the end of the Gospel of John, John would live to be old. His Mother would be safe with John. Knowing His Brothers would be out doing the will of God.  Believe in faith,

all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
