“Your Faith Has Made You Well”

Blessings folk!

I have added several folk to our group here.
Let me know if you do not want to be included…will remove immediately.

Now…

A woman had reached out and touched the cloak of Jesus.
She did not touch His body.
Just the garment.
She had said to herself that she would be healed if she could do so.

Mar 5:28
For she thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”

She was healed.
She felt the physical result instantly.

What did Jesus do?

Mar 5:30
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

He knew that power/virtue had proceeded from Him.
He did not initiate it.
The woman did.
But, Jesus knew.

He did not know who had touched Him in that way.
Many were pressing in/touching Him.

Mar 5:24
And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

Now, read the balance of the account…

Mar 5:31-34
And His disciples said to Him,
“You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her,
came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

And He said to her,
“Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

The disciples responded…really Jesus?
Everyone is pressing in on You.

Jesus saw the woman.
He knew.

He gave her opportunity that He gives us everyday.
A chance to acknowledge.
A chance to confess.

The woman was fearful.
Trembling.
She was aware and amazed at what had happened to her.
She was healed.

Her response?

She came to Jesus.
She fell down before Him…the position of worship, submission, adoration…
She told Him the whole truth.

We should do likewise.

Jesus’ response?
Your faith had made you well.
Go in peace.
Be healed of your affliction.

He will do the same today.
