Read Luke 8:40-48
Today we see another example of great faith. This woman, ill for 12 years had faith that if she only touched Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. I don’t need to bother Jesus; I don’t need Him or anyone else to notice me; I just need to touch His garment. Jesus however wanted everyone to see her faith. He wanted everyone to know that healing (that peace in life) comes through faith. Notice Jesus said, “Go in Peace.” In other words, don’t be troubled with your illness anymore for you have found peace today in Jesus Christ.
Jesus often greeted people who were scared with the words; “peace be with you.” He wanted this woman and us to know not just healing, but to know peace in Christ. He wants us to know that same peace in Him. Please pray for Jesus’ peace in our hearts and the hearts of others who do not know Him.
