Jesus was on his way to heal a man's daughter, with a crowd following him too. In the crowd there was a woman who had been suffering of bleeding for twelve years; she been to many doctors and under much care but yet she still only seemed to get worse. When the woman heard that Jesus was coming she came behind him to touch his clothes, for she thought that if sh would touch his clothes she would be well again. Immediately after she touched Jesus's garments, the woman was healed from disease. Jesus, who had felt that power from himself had been used, proceed to ask for the one who touched him. His disciples in answer to Jesus's questions asked in disbelief why Jesus was asking for the who touched him in a crowd of people. But the woman, knowing …show more content…
Suddenly, I see a huge crowd coming by and I know who is in the middle. I have heard of all the things that Jesus can do and I know that if I just get to touch him, even his clothes, one time that I will be healed of the bleeding that I had lived with for twelve years. Even after spending all my money on treatments, it seems that I only have been getting worse. I see the crowd is here and I will finally get my chance to be near Jesus. Quickly, when I got the chance, I reached out and touched Jesus's garments.
Immediately after I touched him, I felt the change. I was healed! But then soon after I had touched Jesus, I heard him asking for the one who touched him. I heard the disbelief coming from his followers. Why would he be looking for someone who touched him in a crowd of people following him just trying to get a glimpse of Jesus? I was scared, but I knew what had happened for I was healed. I knew I was the one he was looking for. So I fell before Jesus and told him everything, I told him the truth. As I walked back I remembered everything Jesus told me. He told me that I should go in peace, and free of disease, for my faith in him had healed me. I will never forget this day, the day where I found Jesus
I started to say hi, but suddenly my entire body felt like it was on fire. Arching my back, I tried to gulp air. I felt arms under my legs and he whispered "please." I fought to stay conscious, but the darkness grabbed me and dragged me
What we come to realize is that Jesus happily healed him of his sickness, but physical healing would do the man no good in the long run. Jesus wanted to give this man eternal healing. We can ask Jesus to give us all we want, but he knows that our physical needs won’t last forever. That is why He is more interested in giving us something that will last forever, a heart transformation.
I was standing there crying and praising God, saying, “Yes” to everything He told me. After I had sat down, I began to wonder where I would go, and before the thought could leave my mind the Lord said,
Just when I started to lose all hope, our forgiving and merciful savior came to us in the cave. I was in a state of disbelief, for I thought we were not deserving of such an honor. God fed us, clothed us, and comforted us. Although our Lord came in peace, he also brought his word. He explained each new sin that we had committed, and made sure to assert his power and dominance in the midst of our
It ripped through my chest like a beast trying to escape its cage. I finally felt it, God was in my heart. He had released all the displeasure, grief, and hopelessness I had felt for so many years and I knew from that moment, for the rest of my living and breathing life, I needed to show others who He was and what He could do. The feeling was indescribable and incomparable to anyone else, but I could see him moving through the other students’ lives around me that night. From the first gentle touch of his love, I vowed I would follow, respect, and live a life for Him always. Since then, my journey has been the most incredible and agonizing experience that I can describe. I have faced many difficult challenges and have hit the points of break
John nine verses one through seven is the being of the grace giving and truth telling of Jesus in this section. When Jesus spoke with the man that was blind I believe he ministered to him and gave him a brief explanation of who he was. The disciples asked him if this man sinned from birth or did his parents sin? Jesus used the truth telling when he answered the disciples by saying this man didn't sin at birth and neither has his parents sinned. It also gives truth-telling by letting the disciples know that it was to give God the glory. Now for the grace-giving part of Jesus, is him giving the Blind man back his sight. The reason why this was grace-giving was because this man had been blind his whole life, but when he came in contact with Jesus, he showed him grace by healing him.
with tears on my face, I called out to God. “If you exist, please help me God”. I yelled in a loud
Something we all love about Jesus was his ability to preform miracles on human beings just like us. Yancey tries to explain why Jesus was on this earth and did the things He did while he was here. Yancey begins to describe some of the miracles Jesus did like water to wine for example. Then Yancey questions why some of these miracles were preformed and why some were not. This was hard for me to understand because I have never thought about this before. Why did some people receive the blessing of healing and others did not? Honestly, I begin to come up with my own thoughts and begin to think I cannot compare people that received and people who did not. When we
Throughout the course of history, the goal and/or objective of Gods incarnation as Jesus the Christ was for the redemption of humanity (Gal.4:4, 5). The bible tells us that He "gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity" (Titus 2:14), so that the mechanism by which our redemption is accomplish is fully understood to be by the blood of Jesus (I Peter 1:18, 19; Rev.5:9). Accordingly, the word of God tell us that as sinners we are servants to sin (John 8:34; Rom. 6:17) and that we need to be redeemed with a price; and that this price is the blood of the Jesus Christ (I Peter 1:18, 19; Rev.5:9). So I believe that in Christ "we have redemption through His blood" (Eph.1:7) and that without his blood there is no remission of
The people told Jesus to perform a miracle if He wanted them to believe. They told Him that Moses gave the Israelites manna to eat, saying “The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.”
One person both fully human and fully divine. Divine means to be love. Love has power of its own. So why does He matter? Is he is the savior or a healer of humanity? Why does Jesus's death in cross buys us. Human salvation can come under god. If Jesus came to us and was not real human being, it could have been very easy for him to solve the problem that world was facing. God had to become real human being to show us what we got and how it was done. God is love. The primary quality of God is fundamental reality of love. We are finite, limited to the time we have taken that and fit in a box. We shape God into a person. There are three different ways that Christian’s perspective describes Christ for salvation; which are exclusivism, multiple mediation and inclusivism. If Jesus is truly human being. What do we know about human psychology?
In this story Jesus presented the unique love God has for people. Here Jesus was interested in the blind man before he was interested in Jesus. While this miracle displayed His glory, it also showed His love, as we know He loved us
Mary and Jesus’s face had disappeared from all the thousands and thousands of people stepping onto the fumie. Just then, I saw a flash of bright light, and then I heard someone call my name.
God spoke to his people through the prophets; he promised them that he would send a saviour who would fulfil their hopes and aspirations and redeem them from their sins. Jesus is the fulfilment of this promise made by God through the prophets, as prophesied in Isaiah (Chapter); “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way — a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”
Every miracle that Jesus performed was unique. I think that in today’s Gospel we can hear one of the most interesting miracles that Jesus performed. Mark tells us the story of Jesus healing the deaf man who had a speech problem. Jesus’ compassion is so great that when the man approaches him, He takes the man aside and heals him. And this is the first thing that can be very surprising and unique. But why does Jesus take the deaf man off by himself away from the crowd? It seems that it would be more effective to cure somebody in the presence of others. In this case everyone would be able to see and believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, that He is one who is sent from God, that He has divine power. But we see that Jesus thinks in very different way. For him it’s not so important human effectiveness but true and dense encounter with a person. The Lord wants to be alone with him, away from the noise and activity of the crowd. He wants to be able to communicate with him in
