How much faith do you have? Can you move mountains? Do you know that Jesus can heal, even the impossible?
“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”” Matthew 17:20
Imagine the joy Jesus would have as you approach Him with this trusting faith. Absolute – faith that reaches fact. Faith that is simply truth. You might even know the dead can rise.
““If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.”” Matthew 9:21
Ja’irus was pressed, coming to Jesus because he had faith, he knew that Jesus could heal his daughter. Then, utter despair struck. They come with the news that Ja’irus has failed to come in time, his daughter has died. They tell Ja’irus not to brief her Jesus further, it was useless now (Mark 5:34).
“Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”” Mark 5:36
The last hope of the woman and Ja’irus was in Jesus, but they came with faith beyond any human understanding. They not only had faith that Jesus could save them in their desperate hour, they knew He could.
Their reward was astronomically off the chart, Jesus’ reply showed His joy at the treasure He had found. “He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”” Mark 5:34
Where is your faith right now? Are you in a desperate moment, facing a terrible personal situation or diagnosis. Are you desperate to have Jesus perform a miracle in your life right now? Maybe you know He can do it but are afraid to approach to ask? Ja’irus came to Jesus seeking openly, the woman grabbed desperately hidden within a crowd. Both, grasped to faith though neither realized that was the more necessary ingredient than even jesus’ touch.
Come to Jesus, trust that He wants desperately to heal you. Know beyond reason that He can..
