Poor woman! She had suffered for twelve years, and had been to many physicians, but nothing had helped her. In fact, she was only growing worse. In her search for healing she had spent all that she had— hopeless, penniless, she had no other resource.
But—she HEARD of Jesus, the great Physician, the Healer of body and soul.
Believing what she heard, she CAME to Jesus. Her desperate need brought her to Him.
Putting faith into action, she TOUCHED His garment. Happy moment for that poor, suffering woman! She was in the personal company of Jesus, the only One who could possibly heal her body and meet the deep need of her soul.
In a moment of time a change took place. She FELT she was healed! She knew and realized what was done in her.
She came in fear and trembling before Him,
She knew her Lord had come;
She felt that from Him virtue had healed her,
The mighty deed was done.
Oh, touch the hem of His garment,
And thou too shalt be free;
His saving power this very hour
Shall give new life to thee.
You can read the whole story in your Bible, in Mark 5:25-3425And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (Mark 5:25‑34). The Savior can meet the need of your soul just as He met her need. You cannot obtain the salvation of God through any merit of your own; you can only come to Him in faith.
The Lord Jesus Christ has done all the work of salvation; He knows what you are suffering, how many remedies you have tried, and that you have no way to pay Him, but He does not ask it of you. He wants to give, not to take!
