Ministry in Physical Crisis
A Caring Savior
Mark 5:30-34
Read the Bible through:
AM - 2 Samuel 11-12 PM -Luke 13:1-17
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."
(Mark 5:34).
Jesus healed the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. She merely touched His clothes. Immediately, Jesus sensed power "had gone out of Him."
Surrounded by a pressing crowd and making His way to a synagogue ruler's house, Jesus could have just moved on. Instead, He stopped and asked for the person who had touched Him. This action typifies our caring Savior. Christ is always seeking his children. He takes time to address us, to respond to us, and to speak words of peace and healing.
Even when I am satisfied with just a touch of His presence, He desires deeper fellowship. When I want to vanish in the crowd, He seeks to now me individually and intimately. However, like the woman in this passage, I must respond to His voice. In Him I will always find peace. Jesus Christ is not only the balm for ailing bodies, but also for troubled hearts and burdened souls.
Thank You, God, for healing and peace.
