The Woman who had an Issue of Blood

Do you still remember as Jesus was travelling down the busy roads of Jerusalem, and crowds of people were pushing against Him...where was He hurrying to? He was rushing to Jarius' home. Jarius' daughter was dying. And yet...do we still remember the woman Jesus met along the way?

This woman had an issue of blood...she was bleeding for years...and doctors only made the illness worse...and during then, all her money had been spent...that was when she heard of a man called Jesus- the Miracle Maker.

He had been said to have given sight to the blind, open the ears of the deaf, and mouths of the mute, and healed all kinds of disease, even leprosy- a contagious skin disease which at that time had no cure. Her only hope is to find this Miracle Maker and perhaps she thought..."If I could just touch His garment...and I will be healed."

Many of us are like this woman. We spend our days trying to fill the empty void in our hearts. The vacuum has made us sick. not physically. but a sense that our life is wasting away. However, all that we have tried to fill the void with- entertainment, friends, people's acceptance, and even spiritual activities (hoping that our lives will have a sense of purpose and destiny)...but all these just would not solve the problem...it had rather caused our void to grow bigger and even more difficult to satisfy.

Then...news reach our ears...of a Miracle Maker. One who can give us the "peace beyond all understanding" and the "love above all measure". Maybe...like this woman, we rush to find this Jesus and all that He can offer...and like her, we think that just maybe...if we touch the edge of His garment, we will be healed. [ctd in next post]
