Blood
Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
A certain woman, a real person who suffered with bleeding that would not stop for twelve years. Life is in the blood she was in desperation.
Lev 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof:...
Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
Many of us can relate to this woman. The physician practicing medicine were only able to remove her of her wealth. and she grew worse. Where could she go but to the Lord?
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
Desperately she struggled through the crowd, if only to touch his clothing. She believed that even the garment being touch, as a part ofd who Jesus is, this would make her whole.
Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Immediately she was healed, the blood stopped flowing.
Once when I was asked to take pictures at a wedding, two hours before the wedding my nose began to bleed, like a fountain. I applied pressure, every remedy I could remember it bled for an hour. I was praying and praying to Jesus, finally it stopped. I thought, oh please do not let the nose bleed around the brides beautiful white dress. The Lord was faithful. Blood loss makes you weak and desperate. I can only imagine how this woman must have felt. With God there is healing. Jesus bled for us, that we might be healed. For those who must cut themselves? Jesus was wounded for your sins, his blood cleanses us and stops the misery of the flesh weaknesses and the devil's torments. There is life in the blood of Jesus for all who believe in him.
