Crowding to Touch the Saviour

Mark 3:10
For he had healed many; so that they pressed on him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
I. THE PARALLEL BETWEEN THE PRESENT TIMES AND THOSE OF THE TEXT. Jesus had healed many. These have been thoroughly and effectually restored. So far the parallel exists, but here is the marvel — that those who know this do not throng to Christ to obtain the self-same blessing.
II. WHAT ARE THE SINS WHICH PREVENT THE CARRYING OUT OF THIS PARALLEL? Ignorance. Insensibility. Indifference. Procrastination. They really love the disease.
III. THE GRACE WHICH INVITES US TO COMPLETE THE PARALLEL OF THE TEXT. You are spared in this world. Spared to hear the gospel.
IV. TWO CAUTIONS WHICH SEEK TO BE NEEDFUL. Never be content with merely pressing upon Christ. Do not be content with touching them who are healed.
