TOUCHING THE HEM OF GOD

Witness that magnificent moment of fulfillment connected with the grace of faith. Referred to in the book of Mark as "the woman with the issue of blood," this miracle speaks of the power of the individual conviction and persistence. This woman's faith that even fleeting contact with Christ could cure the incurable is matched only by her resolve in making the event occur. So powerful is such faith that the frenzy of a pressing crowd dissolves before the touch of such a devoted human spirit and the viture of Christ flowed to it. Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43-48
