Those who don't come remain unhealed

In this passage we are confronted with a striking picture of the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. When the boat lands at Gennesaret, the people, having recognized Jesus, bring forth their sick with great haste, begging only that they might touch the fringe of His garment. And we see that “as many as touched it were made well.” Here, therefore, we behold both the misery of mankind and the sufficiency and willingness of Christ to remedy all our many miseries.
