Completely Healed
I have a new favorite Miracle from Jesus.
Fly to Mark 5:25-34
Now imagine that you are the woman who has been bleeding for 14 years. I don't know about you, but my one week period is hell enough. But consider this: according to mosaic law, when a woman was bleeding, either naturally or because of a problem, she was considered unclean and could not touch or be touched lest whatever she came in contact with also becomes unclean. She could not be touched. Imagine also that you have spent your whole fortune (probably your dowry) going to doctors, trying to get well. I can only imagine the horror of the gynecologists in those days. And you haven't been hugged in 14 years.
You have heard of the teacher from Nazareth. Some say He is the Christ. Everyone knows He is a healer. Dispite your uncleanliness, you take a chance and go to Him. What else do you have to lose?
When you get there, He is leaving with a well respected man and desperate father named Jairus. All the better, you suppose; you have seen Him heal people by laying His hands on them, and you certainly would not want to make the Messiah unclean. Seeing Him there ahead, He is the most beautiful person you've ever seen--with a celestial voice and the kindest eyes, you know just touching the edge of His cloak will heal you.
You reach out, your heart pounding in your ears your tears caught in your throat. The touch of His cloak it is like being washed like you have not been able to in 14 years. You know you are healed- the pain is over and you have not dishonored Him and you fade back into the crowd.
Then He turns around asking "Who touched me?"
You know He is looking for you. The shame of your condition as
well as the fact that you tried to get away, not to mention His uncleanliness now, overwhelm the good feeling you had at being healed. You step forward, knowing you will never escape those eyes--those lovely, all seeing, deeply piercing eyes--and fall at His feet, repentant for what you tried to do, thankful your illness is gone, and afraid of what He'll say in front of all these people.
"Daughter" He says. His voice is deep like the heavens, soft but giving you the impression it could roar like the thunder. "Daughter." His voice envelops you like the hug that you have needed for so long as He bestows that affectionate term on you in front of all these people. "Your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Free. No more uncleanliness, no more worry or fear or shame. Free. You are healed completely. Jesus never does anything halfway, and today you witness how He has not only healed you physically, but He has also set you on the path to be completely healed emotionally and spiritually, too.
