3:1 Yeshua went again into a synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, people watched him carefully to see if he would heal him on Shabbat. 3 He said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come up where we can see you!” 4 Then to them he said, “What is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or killing?” But they said nothing. 5 Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” As he held it out, it became restored. 6 The P’rushim went out and immediately began plotting with some members of Herod’s party how to do away with him.
7 Yeshua went off with his talmidim to the lake, and great numbers followed him from the Galil. 8 When they heard what he was doing, great numbers also followed him from Y’hudah, Yerushalayim, Idumea, the territory beyond the Yarden, and the Tzor-Tzidon area. 9 He told his talmidim to have a boat ready for him, so that he could escape the crush of the crowd if necessary, 10 for he had healed many people, and all the sick kept pressing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, “You are the Son of God!” 12 But he warned them strictly not to make him known.
"Who Is This One Called Jesus?" by Author: Gary ShankAmong the crowds following Jesus were curious onlookers hoping to be amazed, those desiring to be freed from various afflictions, seekers awaiting Messiah, and skeptics wanting only to destroy Him. Every encounter implicitly demanded: “Who is this one called Jesus?” Many believed, were healed, and went away praising God. Some put their faith in Him. Confronted with the same evidence, others rejected. Refusing to believe, they remained unyielding in their opposition.
Recently, someone suggested that I am a Christ-follower simply because of my family background. Yet I remember the night I made my choice. After years of living my way, I was suddenly aware of Christ’s presence as though He stood before me with hands extended, offering forgiveness and new life. My life was transformed.
One day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess Him Lord. In His presence, all will recognize the Son of God and proclaim “Jesus is Lord.”

At His feet I’m resting low;
Let me evermore abide
Where the healing waters flow.

Where the healing waters flow.

While the tempests come and go!

Where the healing waters flow!

Whiter than the driven snow,
Now I sing my sweet refrain,
Where the healing waters flow.

Where the healing waters flow,
Where the joys celestial glow,
Oh, there’s peace and rest and love,
Where the healing waters flow!
