So that's what we know about God. What does this story tell us? What can we, you and I, take away from this story? I think one really important thing is that Jesus draws us to him. He wants us near. He welcomes us. Just like those people were drawn to Jesus, I have to believe the majority of them were drawn to Jesus because they just couldn't help themselves. Because he had been healing people, and he had been teaching things that they had never heard before. And they were some of them were probably like, I don't really even know why, but I just wanna be near this man. I wanna hear what he has to say. So this teaches us that Jesus draws us near. He wants us near him. We should never feel like we're not welcome in God's presence.
