He’s There

We stopped last as Jesus stopped on His way to Jairus home to see about his young daughter. The crowd was large as they followed Jesus to Jairus home where his daughter was at the point of death. But there was another woman who was working her way toward Jesus who had been sick for 12 years. Her mindset was if she could just touch Jesus’s garment she would be healed. She was right, she touched the garment of Jesus and she was healed. Nobody knows her, nor what she did.  But that’s  not so. No one ever comes to Jesus that Jesus does know and neither the person who was healed. So don’t say, I  think I was saved when I was 12, no if you were you know it. I didn’t say you haven’t messed up your life, I said you haven’t forgotten what Jesus did and neither has He! 

Mark 5:30 (KJV) And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? The disciples said what I may have said Mark 5:31 (KJV) And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?  But Jesus knew there was someone in great need who touched Him. Mark 5:32 (KJV) And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. All of a sudden this woman got scared she may have thought she had done something wrong.  

Mark 5:33 (KJV) But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. She told Jesus about the 12 years being sick, about the doctors, about having nothing and about, I’m getting no better. But Jesus responded much differently than she thought He would.  

Mark 5:34 (KJV) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. He called her Daughter! That’s a family term; remember how important Jairus daughter was to Jairus? Because of this woman’s faith in Jesus she was made whole, and so can you my friend. Jairus's daughter at the point of death or a woman with no hope and nothing in this world to live for, Jesus is plainly the answer. Be like the woman with no name, go for it! Reach out and touch Him. But you say “I don’t need Jesus” oh but you do! Reach out! He's there!
