TOUCH OF FAITH
Mark 5:24-34
24 So Jesus went with him.
A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 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. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who
touched me?’ ”
32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had
happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
The story of Mark 5:24–34 teaches us that faith begins by hearing GOD’s Word, grows through trust in JESUS and is shown through action. The woman believed in JESUS, reached out to HIM in faith, humbled herself at HIS feet and experienced healing and peace.
Through this passage, we also see the deep love and compassion of GOD, a love that accepts, restores, and gives us security. When we come to JESUS with sincere faith, we can trust that HE sees us, cares for us and responds with grace.
