But if you were on the shores of Galilee while Jesus was touching and speaking healing to the multitudes, I can assure you that you wouldn't be thinking of the value of suffering. You, too, would be reaching out to touch the One who radiates power and radiates healing. Jesus Himself said that He came to destroy the works of the devil.
