Follow Me to Wholeness

As we step into this very heartwarming story, we are reminded of the effect sin has on our bodies. The woman had experienced physical difficulties for twelve years and even with the God-given intervention of the medical community of her time, the Gospel of Mark tells us she’d only gotten worse. Jesus healed her completely. He healed her physically. He healed her spiritually. But what does this passage say to us today? You see, though He sometimes does, we know that God doesn’t always heal our bodies. How do we apply this story then? This story reminds us of what we know...He’s brought eternal restoration and healing to our souls through the Gospel. We’re then reminded that the Lord Jesus does heal us completely as we consider the restoration of our bodies and souls even if it’s not realized fully until eternity. We consider that Jesus calls us “Follow Me to Wholeness” and see Him with His almighty hand extended, pulling us into the heavenly realm.
