Evening: Psalm 145; Mark 5:25-34
‘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?
