I have decided to share a 72 day daily challenge with you each day until Easter, April 1st. We are doing this in our Relief Society, and I thought I would like to share it here as well.  I shared a little about the challenge here.

Each day I will share the daily video here and then my personal thoughts about it after I have personally watched it. Today is Day 22.

Jesus Heals a Woman of Faith

Jesus heals a woman’s illness when she, in faith, touches His clothing.

Mark 5: 25-34

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment .

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace , and be whole of thy plague.

 

My Impressions:

I find her faith to be remarkable.  She had the faith that if she could just touch his clothing, then she would be completely healed from the malady she had endured for 12 years.  She didn’t need to have him give her a blessing.  She didn’t need to even bother him she thought.  She just needed to touch his clothes.  That is some amazing faith.  It is the kind of faith that I hope to have someday.
