All who touched Him were made whole.

The Bible daily by disciple John

All who touched Him were made whole.

John Francis

Matthew 14:35-36 

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

What has caught my attention about this text, is the mention that lots of sick people touched the hem of our Lords garment, and all who touched it were healed. Could it be, that the news about the lady with the flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her money to get healed with no affect, had reached them? Matthew 9:20-22 They heard how she pushed through the crowd until she touched the hem of the garment of our Lord, and was instantly healed.

In Luke 8:46 it tells us our Lord knew power went out of Him when that lady touched Him. What would He have felt when four or five persons are touching the hem at the same time. What were the sounds of wonder and joy that went up, the voices of those worshipping the Son of God? We sometimes sing a chorus in the Church “He touched Me” There is an opportunity for someone to write a new song called “I touched His garment and was made whole”

Prayer: Thank you Heavenly Father that you still visit your Children with your Shekinah Glory and we can still touch the hem of our Lord for healing that your will be done and your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
