JUST TOUCH HIS CLOTHES / MARK 5:27-28

(KJV) Mark 5:27-28

When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. ²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) often speak of the sick touching Jesus (Mark 3:10; 5:27-34; 6:56) or of Jesus touching the sick (Mark 1:41-42; 7:33-35: Matthew 8:3, 15: 9:29-30; 20:34; Luke 5:13; 7:14-15; 22:51). It was the contact and presence of Jesus that mattered. Because of His intimate relationship with God His Father and His complete dependence on the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ entire being was saturated with God’s miraculous power. This power is available to heal us because Christ sympathizes with our weaknesses and is our source of life and grace (undeserved favor, love, kindness, help and enablement; Hebrews 4:16). Our responsibility in receiving healing is simply to stay in a close relationship with Christ, to ask Him to meet our needs and to rely on Him to do what is best for us (Matthew 17:20). The same power that Jesus showed is also available to work miracles through His followers. As long as we remain in a deep personal relationship with God and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, we too can be used by God to bring physical healing to suffering individuals. In this particular situation, the Greek word translated “healed” (Mark 5:34) actually means “saved,” implying that the woman’s faith in Christ was enough for both physical healing (“be free from your suffering”) and spiritual salvation (“go in peace”). Mark often puts these together (Mark 2:1-12; 3:1-6).
