“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?”
Mark 5:30 KJV
Jesus knew at once that someone had touched him, for he felt the power that always surged around him had passed through him for someone to be healed. He turned and spoke to the crowd, saying, “Who touched my clothes?” There was a glorious power that kept going out around Jesus Christ, drawing others to Him and healing those He touched, and in this case, healing a woman who touched Him in faith. Jesus knew that the power of God was always emanating around Him, yet it had flowed through Him to someone in the crowd. Jesus already knew the answer to His question. He wanted the woman to come forward and acknowledge her healing. There were crowds around Jesus, the Living Word. Many today crowd around the written Word. But only those who “touch” the Scriptures in faith receive its promises, just like the sick woman who received her healing. May we “touch” Jesus in faith in the written Scriptures. Amen!
