Touch Him With Great Expectation

9/22/1997

Remember the woman that had been very sick for a long, long time?... She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind Him through the crowd and touched the fringe of His robe. For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch His clothing, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel that she had been healed! Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from Him, so He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched My clothes?” His disciples said to Him, “All this crowd is pressing around You. How can You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’” SURELY we all realize that ANYONE can rub up against Jesus with the rest of the crowd (as many as were in the above instance)—but ONLY those that approach Him PERSONALLY, ON PURPOSE, EXPECTING TO BE HEALED!! will experience His miraculous intervention! Don’t be just a part of the crowd around Him—get to Him, and reach out to Him, EXPECTING to be healed. : ) 2:20 p.m.
