It makes perfect sense that Jesus would draw a crowd. He was doing crazy things. Like healing people, casting out demons and teaching people in ways they had never heard. This shows that the people had faith. They came to Jesus because they knew nothing else could help. They needed him so they went to him and they were helped by him. Because Jesus had compassion and love and mercy. He wanted to help these people.
The application of this is two fold. The first question is, do we have faith like these people Do we turn to Jesus when we need help? The second is do people come to us knowing we have compassion when they need help? We are supposed to emulate Jesus in everything that we do, so we should be known for our compassion and our willingness to help others.
