In verse 20, the woman with the issue of blood. This is an issue not of contaminated blood. An issue of her having a menustral cycle for 12 years. She was considered unclean, therefore she was cast out of the village. She spent all her money to be healed & never was. She took a chance of being stoned to come into the multitude. To touch the hem of Jesus garment. Her faith was so strong Jesus felt her touch him. He turned & told her "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole!" FAITH!!! People believe Christ he is the solution 4 any situation. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
i think matthew didnt write matthew. eg, 9 verse 9.And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him...if matthew wrote, and as jesus passed forth from thence,he saw me sitting at the receipt of custom and said to me follow and i arose and follow him.
I believe its a powerful statement and once you understand what it says you will have peace within.The is a srcipture in Genesis goes like "AM WHO I AM" God was telling Moses that he can be whatever the Isralites what HIM to be.So when i read both these statements it gives me so much hope and make me realise how much God loves me.I personally believe that whatever circumtances you face and difficulties, if you can only have faith(Touch his cloth) in God he will deliver(be made well) you. Let us continue to fight the good fight of faith.
"The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest".What does this mean? we should pull all our efforts to preach the word of God by letting people know who God is and jesus in their lives.We are the labourers pipo! lets make our havests its the season(generation)
In vs20 where the woman with the contamin8ed blood touches Jesus's garment, it'd seem that she has covered with the pure blood of Jesus which made her whole by "doing away with her blood disorder." She received a blood transfusion by being covered in the pure blood of Jesus. Praise be 2 Him!
WE ALL HAVE BEEN AROUND CHRISTIANS WHO SHUN NON-BELIVERS. THIS IS WHAT THE PHARISEES DID WHEN JESUS SAT WITH THE PUBLICANS & SINNERS. YEARS AGO WE HAD A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY DIE OF CANCER. ANOTHER PERSON IN THE FAMILY SAID TO LET HIM DIE THAT OUR PATIENT WAS OF NO USE TO ANYONE BECAUSE HE WAS NOT SAVED. THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE THE PHARISEES DID. OUR DIEING FAMILY MEMBER GOT SAVED ON THIS DEATH BED. PRAISE GOD!!!! I'LL SEE MY DADDY IN HEAVEN SOME DAY.
REMEMBER V.29B "ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU"
It is always an awesome blessing to read of the wonderful works of our Lord and Savior...what caught my attention is when Jesus in his infinite goodness saw his people reaching out to receive salvation and made such a profound statement... "the harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few"...we need to be mindful that it's great to read and meditate on His works...but we must remember to do His works, remember that Faith without works is dead...the Lord needs laborers in his vineyard...lets start right now
a through commentary on the chapter, with lots of varing ideas, but drawn together based on the harried activites of Christ presented in the chapter. Our Lord was busy. and we must pay attention and be also in our communion with him.
What sticks out for me is the gift of the sinners themselves, their illustration explains so much, particularly our part in being healed, and aspects of the process as well. This would be a good chapter and ommentary for those suffering addiction.
