Luke 8:42-48
Jesus Heals a Sick Woman
42 As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
We have our faults our blunders, our illnesses and we sometimes hide them or try to hide them...
We cannot hide from Jesus...He knows who we are and where we are at and what we are doing...He shows us for who we really are...And as the woman asks if only I could touch the edge of His cloak, she seems hidden among the crowd and those trying to get close to Him...She thought she could maybe touch Him and He not notice...But she cannot hide from Him, none of us can...While we can hide our secrets from those around us, even those close to us, we cannot hide our darkest or any secret from Him, because He knows all of us...No mask or disguise or secret can keep us from Him...We cannot hide from Him...He literally knows the number of hairs on our head...
So among the crowd she might have thought she was hidden...He helped her with her condition that she had suffered for twelve years, that no other one could heal...Jesus turned and saw her...Then He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”...And the woman was healed at that very moment...There is no reason to hide from Him...
