THE GOD OF THE HOPELESS
Beholding Jesus Series
Mark 5:25-29 New King James Version
25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the [a]affliction.
How did the woman with the issue of blood find hope in the midst of her hopelessness? What do you think was the secret to her faith?
The secret to her faith can be found in these five words: "When she heard about Jesus."
We may not see or hear Jesus in person as those people during His time did. But by simply hearing about Jesus, we can receive the same faith and breakthrough the woman did.
Whatever she had heard about Jesus caused her to receive.
The Bible does not tell us exactly what she heard about Jesus, but I strongly believe that she must have heard story after story of how Jesus healed the sick everywhere He went, how good and gracious He was even to the sinners or the down-and-out who came to Him.
She must have heard that in spite of the fact that you are unclean, and there is sin your life, you can receive healing.
What she heard about Jesus produced in her a positive, confident expectation of good.
What are you hearing about Jesus? The more you hear about His goodness and grace, the more faith will arise in you to receive your miracle.
