Mark 5:21-43
Who touch my clothes? Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her,"Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Don't be afraid; just believe. The child is not dead but asleep.
Jesus took her by the hand and said to her,"Talitha koum!". Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around. At this they were completely astonished.
The woman tries not to advertise her presence, because the bleeding makes her polluted and untouchable to her follow Jews. As a woman is in any case regarded as a 'second class citizen'. Jesus' cloak has no magic properties. He knows the difference between the casual contact of the crowd and someone reaching out in need. The woman's faith not only leads to her physical healing; it is saves her.
The incident must have encouraged Jairus. The fact that this synagogue official, a big man in the local community, came to Jesus shows that not all religious leaders were against him. Because of his trust in jesus his little girl is brought back to life. Jesus has power over life and death.
Why?
It is not the power of the clothe of Jesus but the heart of the woman who has faith to Jesus, even her situation are worse and unclean.
Don't be afraid, come to Jesus, just believe, Jesus will saves us.
Jesus let us go in peace and be freed from our suffering.
How?
Praise the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus is my savior and my hope in any situation.
