Mark 5:25–34, And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak, because she thought, If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed. Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out of Him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, Who touched my clothes? You see the people crowding against you, his disciples answered, and yet you can ask, Who touched me? But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at His feet and, trembling with fear, told Him the whole truth. He said to her, Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.
Do you believe that Christ is able?
Here, this woman did receive a great deal by touching Jesus’ cloak. See Mark 5:27–28, When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak, because she thought, If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.
What did this woman have which the others who touched Jesus did not, that made all the difference is faith. The same with those who brought the paralytic to Jesus in Mark 2:4–5, Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven.
There are many people today who come close to Jesus and touch Him without any change taking place in their lives. They go to church, prayer meetings, listen to a Bible message on the radio, television, read christian tracts or even listen to a friend tell about the difference Jesus has made in their life, without ever getting any benefit from their own contact with Christ.
This woman had something these people need. What is necessary if we are to receive the blessing Christ wants to give us is repentance and faith and not combat.
Still some are like this woman today when amazing things happened in their life they slip away from the house of God, but in her case Jesus was not going to leave the matter at that, He required her to admit her action to Him and to the crowd. Read Mark 5:32–34, But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at His feet and, trembling with fear, told Him the whole truth. He said to her, Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.
So to you too, it is not too late, let’s open the amazing wonders of God in your life. This is a simple lesson for all of us. We have received so many blessing from the Lord. What does He want from us in return? It is the same that He wanted from the woman who touched His cloak.
Do testimony to His many blessing, healing and not denial His amazing grace in your life. You are as well weak but He is the piller, He holds you on.
May you continue to enjoy His grace.
