Mark 5:25-34
As Jesus is walking to Jairus' house to see about his daughter, a woman approaches and touches Jesus' cloak.
She is healed - why?
Jesus gives credit to her faith for the healing in verse 34. She seems to think that the only way to healing is to get near Jesus. In verse 28, the Bible tells us that she thought she would only have to touch an article of clothing to be healed. The crowd and disciples seem to have a different opinion altogether, claiming that everyone is touching Jesus, so how could power leave Him?
This is a testimony of the healing characteristic of Jesus.
Healing seemed to surround Him - to be His constant companion. He knew how to heal people and in almost every city, spent time practicing healing.
There are certain characteristics that accompany all of us. Joy, fear, hate, love, mourning, consternation, confusion, aggression, uplifting, healing... What will accompany you today?
