Tag: Bible verses about touching the hem of His garment

Mark 5:28 (NKJV) 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

This woman had no idea that she would go down in history for her courage and her faith.

As believers, we can all learn a lot from her; her determination, her perseverance, her courage, her tenacity, and most of all, from her faith in Jesus to make her whole.

It’s important that we understand what she had been through; 12 years of struggles with a condition that no doctor of that time could help her with.

They had all failed miserably, even making her life worse than it was by the condition itself.

Mark 5:26 (NKJV) 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

Regardless of what she had been through, she trusted that Jesus had what she needed. And despite the fact that there were hordes of people around Him, she defied the odds and pushed through the crowd, even just to be able to touch His clothing.

You see, she wasn’t concerned with talking to Him or even touching Him. She just wanted to touch his clothing, because she knew that was all it would take to get her healing.

Mark 5:28 (NKJV) 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

Are we shying away from Jesus today because it might take extra effort to push through and get what we need from Him?

Are we afraid of what people might say or think about us? Do others keep us from Him? Are we afraid He might reject us?

Don’t be! Jesus gave His life to set us free. It’s up to us to reach out and touch Him, even if it’s just his clothing as He passes by.

If the woman in the verses above could do it, so can you and I.
