Mark 5:21-43 The very essence of Jesus is healing

Send us Fan MailToday’s Gospel is a miracle story within a resurrection story.  The first is the story of a woman who is healed after many years of suffering from   hemorrhages.  This miracle story is unique as the miracle happens without her saying anything to Jesus.  She believes that she simply needs to touch the hem of his garment for the healing.  She is correct, she is indeed healed.  Jesus was fully a teacher and would not pass by a teachable moment.   By calling this woman out he is making a point that her faith played an important part in her healing.  She made herself available for Jesus to act,   and in so doing,  provides us with a model of what true faith can accomplish. Complete our 1 Minute Survey
