Mark 5:29 – Part 1: Immediately...
Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and
she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
Now we get to see the results of her faith. I am trying to picture what is happening here. The lady has reached out and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment. Immediately she is made well. You can be assured that she is crouching down when reaching for the garment. I think that as she felt the healing power of God going...

Mark 5:28 – Part 3- Shall...
For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
Have you ever thought about this word shall? It is a simple word that we use often. I think we use this word a little too casually these days. The reason I think this is because it is the strongest word we have in the English language to describe doing something – ie. I shall do…means that you will do something. There is no way out of this word – it carries...

Mark 5:28. Part 2- A Brief Encounter With a Covenant...
… a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, "If I only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well."
I want to look at the particular area of clothing that this woman touched. The Bible is quite careful to tell us what it was - the hem, so what is the reason for this?
Before we go further with this though - I want you to pay attention...

Mark 5:28 – Part 1: Different Ways of Worshipping...
For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
For she said… The word for used here carries on from the previous verse. It will explain to us something, in this case, the particular action of touching His garment. So the reason she touched Jesus' garment is because she said if only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.
This is an important point. Don't miss it!
It sounds really simple, but...

Mark 5:27 – Part 2: Being Right v’s Being Weird...
Isn’t that interesting?
This woman, at this point in her life has enough faith to believe...
When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.She came behind him… why? Why not to His face like Jairus did? As I mentioned to you before, under Levitical law, this woman could have been killed for coming out. She didn’t want Jesus to see her for fear of her life.

Mark 5:27 – Part 1: Hearing about Jesus...
When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.Can you imagine what this lady felt like when she heard about Jesus? In the previous verses, we looked at what this lady went through. We looked at some of the possible emotions, fears and disappointments she went through. If there is one thing we have learned so far it is that this lady has had the most horrendous...
Mark 5:26 – Part 3: 4 Nightmares...
She suffered many things
From many physicians
She had spent all that she had
She got worse.
and she had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all the she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.This verse shows four distinct events:
She suffered many things
From many physicians
She had spent all that she had
She got worse.
Mark 5:26 – Part 2: Disappointment...
One of the things that I am picking up from this verse is the amount of times that she would have been disappointed.
and she had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all the she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.I know that I have mentioned this a few times already - but I think it is worth repeating - how bad is your problem compared to this lady?
One of the things that I am picking up from this verse is the amount of times that she would have been disappointed.
Mark 5:26 – Part 1: God knows your probelms...
and she had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all the she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.Again, the Bible shows, in a little more detail, some of what this woman has been through. God is very aware of your problem, He is very aware of what you have been through and even what you are going through.
Mark 5:25 – Part 3: “Put your life on the line” faith...
I have heard messages preached on this particular event many times in my Christian years, and it never ceases to amaze me what this woman actually did, because according to Levitical law, she could have been stoned to death for being out like this and being “unclean”. The amazing thing is that Jairus is the man that has this authority, because as we have already noticed, the Bible drew our attention to that fact that he was the Ruler of the Synagogue.
