26th
Luke 8:42 - 48
Cured and Healed
Context - Jarius was leading Jesus to his dying daughter amidst a time when Jesus was healing a lot of other people/
vs 45
Crowd
Unclean woman.
The woman had no access to the Temple and was cut off from society.
Why did Israel have such rigid purity laws?
Leviticus 15:25 - 33
vs 44
She needed the cover of the crowd. She would not have got any where near Jesus otherwise.
One moment mattered.
It matters
- Denied
- Dismissed.
Exposed
- Risky
- Deliberate
- Necessary
(Otherwise, what proof would there be of her healing? Or she would have thought it a coincidence.)
vs 47, 48
Confession
- She was sick
- She reached out and touched Jesus
- She was healed by faith
- She was then at peace
Similarly
- We are to reach out to Jesus and confess our sins.
- Accept His forgiveness and remember that we are forgiven and thank Him for it.
