“And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.”~ Mark 6:56 (NIV)
Sometimes Jesus didn't even go through the "process" of healing, sometimes people walked up and touched his clothes. That's it. They weren't questioned about their faith, they weren't asked "to go and sin no more" nothing. They touched his clothes...they reached out and touched. They believed, they must have had some amount of faith. Have you ever been so desperate you would do anything? I have, I would have been the one reaching way in so I didn't have to stand in the open, I would have darted my finger in and out so that if things didn't work out no one would ever know......
Some of them may have had faith....some of them may have been looking at this as a "ok I'll try this because I haven't any other other option". Still they reached and touched and felt an explosion of relief of their symptoms..........if God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow...then I can reach and you can reach.....and........touch.
Shalom
