When Jesus stepped onto shore, this guy from the city came up to him — and this man was seriously struggling. He'd been dealing with demons for years, lived completely naked, had no home, and was basically surviving in the graveyard.

Everywhere Jesus went — small towns, big cities, rural areas — people would bring sick family and friends right out into the streets. They were desperate just to touch even the edge of his clothes, believing that was enough. And honestly? Everyone who reached out and touched him was completely healed.
