—Matthew 9:18-26
by: Ellen Olson.
Jesus’ power is amazing. The woman who was bleeding for 12 years needed only to touch the edge of his cloak to be healed. The ruler’s daughter was already dead; Jesus brought her back to life. However, it was not Jesus’ power only that caused these miracles to happen. The faith of the people involved played an important role. Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has healed you.’’ If the man had not sought Jesus out, his daughter would still be dead. Jesus has the power, but we need to seek him out.
