SCRIPTURE: Luke 8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me,
for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”
OBSERVATION: A woman with a 12 year old condition of a
discharge of blood reached through a crowd of people and touched the fringe of
Jesus’ garment. Power went out from Him
and healed her. When he had asked who
had touched her, his disciples’ response (in the natural) was basically. “Um..Jesus,
there are like tons of folks around you..lots of people are touching you..uh..” Let's be honest, wouldn't we have responded in such a way?
APPLICATION: In the
beginning of Luke we read that Jesus is the “Word” meaning “Logos” Essentially He is the divine expression of
the Father himself. He is God incarnate,
here in the flesh walking among the crowd.
But in that crowd a woman who believed in His power, touched him and was
healed. Faith is a response to the Word
of God and the Word of God (Jesus) is attached to promises backed with
power. The Word of God, activating our
faith (Romans 10:17) releases the power of God backed by His authority. This is HUGE!
