Reaching out in faith

Morning: Psalm 118; Judges 16:15-31; 2 Corinthians 13:1-11

‘Reaching out’ to anyone is transformative.  Both are changed.  A woman in the crowd around Jesus, unknown to him, reaches out believing he can heal her bleeding disorder.  He knows someone has touched him; meanwhile, she is healed.  He feels a change in himself; she gets better.  How such miracles occur is beyond our power to investigate.  But Jesus wasn’t a magician; the woman’s faith was the vital factor in her healing.  The story seems to ask – Is there something about Jesus that makes you want to reach out in faith to him, to be transformed by his mysterious power?
