Faith!

For Wednesday, January 19, 2022

Mark 5:28 NLT: “The woman thought to herself, ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.’”

This example of faith is a sidebar inside another mission. Jesus was actually on his way to heal Jairus’ daughter, when a woman in the crowd with a 12-year bleeding problem had the courage to simply touch the Master. Jesus was her hope. “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”

The short version is that Jesus asked who touched him, the woman confessed, to which Jesus replied, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.” This healing is a good example of grace, undeserved favor, shown to the woman who was so full of faith.

Turns out we’re all saved by grace through faith!
