Healing Touch
"A woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years...She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped" (Luke 8:43-44).
Scripture Focus: Luke 8:42b-48
Luke noted that this woman had been seeking help for twelve years. The doctors she went to must have felt frustrated when they could not cure her. Humans have limitations, but Jesus showed His power to heal physically and spiritually. When He healed someone physically, Jesus always had a purpose for his or her everlasting spiritual health.
The long-afflicted woman reached out to Jesus in faith. Jesus healed her both physically and spiritually. He also commended her for her act of faith.
We can receive healing through reaching out to Jesus in faith. Prayer is the way we can touch Him (or connect with Him).
God may choose to heal our ills, working through doctors, but He also may choose not to heal. Other Christians may influence us, but healing only comes through the gift of life explained in the Bible and offered freely. Remember as you reach out in faith that only Jesus mediates between God and us (See 1 Timothy 2:5.).
Insight: We all need healing, and Jesus can provide it. Faith can cause us to reach out to Him this very moment.
