The whole crowd was trying to touch Him because power was coming out from Him and healing them all. Then, looking up at His disciples, He said… (Luke 6:19-20a)
Jesus offers His healing power to all the people. He uses miracles to draw them in, but look how He doesn’t expect every person healed to actually give Him a hearing.
He doesn’t make listening to His teaching a prerequisite for His touch. Rather, He shows the lavish grace of God by healing all who come, and He shows the strategic wisdom of God by teaching only those who care.
Perhaps we would be wise to do the same.
