He healed so many, that all who had diseases kept pressing towards him to touch him. Even the people who had evil spirits,
whenever they saw him, they would fall down before him and cry out, “You are the Son of God.” But he warned them sternly not to tell anyone who he was.
REFLECTION:
Jesus is now in the heights of His ministry. His display of healing powers attracted a lot of
people who were desperate for cure. They keep pressing towards Him. He has no
recourse but to retreat into the sea by getting into the boat. Land exit is next
to impossible. His fame is now a burden. But Jesus did not shrink from the work.
He just made practical provisions so He would not be crushed by the crowd. If
we do things for love our energy and enthusiasm for work is sustained. But let
us not lose our good sense while doing ministry so we could work for another day.
