A desperation that seperates
June 4, 2009
Like the woman with the issue of blood. Matt 9:20, Mark 5:30
She had terrible odds :
1 ) She was a woman in those times
2 ) She was a woman with a 12 year issue of blood
Under the law, she was unclean. Knowing her odds, a normal woman would have held herself back from reaching for the hem of Jesus’s robes. But her faith and desperation defied all these odds and she reached out.
It was not the robes, it was her faith and desperation that made the Lord pause. A desperation that prevails against her situation, all the odds, all the opinions of others. Nothing mattered anymore. A sole focus to touch the Master changed everything.
Multitudes thronged Jesus and many would have came in contact with His robes. But this “unclean” child’s simple desperation seperated her from the multitudes, catching the attention of the King of kings.
