When the people heard about him, they immediately followed him, according to Luke 9:11, and he received them, taught them about the kingdom of God, and provided healing for those who needed it.
I recently read this during my time of prayer and thought it was a fantastic illustration of how healing came through Jesus Christ and continues to come from Him. Even though I wasn't present to witness his life and the numerous miracles he worked, I have grown to know him through my own personal prayer and the study of the Bible's accounts of his life. No matter where we may be in life, I am confident that Christ knows us and wants to help us go past the suffering of this world.
