He is a God Who created us, and saved us so that we might have life.
The healing stories in the Gospel passage are pretty astounding. When Jairus's daughter was thought to be dead, He helped her up.
The woman with the hemorrhages, which would have started around the time the daughter of Jairus was born, was cut off from the life of the community because of her condition. And even though touching Jesus would have, according to the Law, made Him unclean, she had faith to reach out and take what she knew Jesus could offer her. Indeed, He brought her the healing only He could make possible, and instantly restored her to fullness of health and participation in the life of the community. Just as He brought her healing without being stained, so Christ imparts to all of us healing and redemption without being stained by our sins.
Let us reach out to touch Him, confident in knowing by faith that He can restore us to wholeness by His powerful Presence and His Life.
And let us be a blessing to others, bringing life to all the world, as we give generously, as our God has.
