If Jesus was who they said he was, then he was worth it all. If he was God, he was worth the risk. And she definitely took a risk by braving the crushing crowds and the demoralizing stigma of her illness to touch his clothes.
And when he asked – “Who touched me?” – she knew that she couldn’t get away unnoticed.
This isn’t a story; it’s a life – a real life encounter with Jesus Christ. A woman who lived an ostracized, powerless life found life in the powerful, personal touch of Jesus.
And she learned a powerful truth: we cannot go unnoticed. We may want to; but he won’t let us.
“Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet”(Luke 8:47 NIV).
