Re:Verse passage – Matthew 9:20-22 (day two)
And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; 21 for she was saying to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.” 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.
“When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.””
Luke 2:15
The shepherds knew little of who this child was or would be. They had an angelic visitation that told of his birth, and they went to be near this child…and their lives were changed.
The ailing woman knew enough about Jesus that she, too, desired to be near him, and her faith in him made her well.
This is the heart of the gospel. Get near Jesus. You will be changed. Merry Christmas.
