In Jesus' time, sick people were considered "unclean" and banished outside the city walls. Sounds ridiculous right? Well, here's a woman, so desperate for Jesus, she ignored the rules.
Mark 5:25, 27-30, 33-34 (New Living Translation)
25 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding….27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. 28 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.
30 Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”
…
33 Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
Are you desperate for Jesus like that?
