June 8, 2014
1. THE REQUIREMENT FOR JESUS.
“And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for
twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of
many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting
better she grew worse.’” v 25-26
2. THE REPORTS ON JESUS.
“When she heard about Jesus…” v 27a
3. THE RISK FOR JESUS.
“When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the
crowd…” v 27b
4. THE REACH-OUT TO JESUS.
“When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the
crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, ‘If I just touch
his clothes, I will be healed.’” v 27-28
5. THE RELIEF FROM JESUS.
“Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that
she was freed from her suffering.” v 29
6. THE RESPONSE OF JESUS.
“At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He
turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my
clothes?’ ‘You see the people crowding against you,’ his disciples
answered, ‘and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ But Jesus
kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman,
knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and,
trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her,
‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed
from your suffering.’” v 30-34
