GOSPEL READING: MARK 5:21-43

“If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.”
——————————-
In this passage we see two miracles. One is the raising of the dying daughter of Jairus and the other is the healing of the woman who had the flow of blood for years. In the miracle of the raising of the daughter of Jairus, the witnesses are the parents and the chosen disciples. And in the healing of the flow of blood, no one is the witness except the woman who was healed.

Jairus expresses his faith openly and in front of all. He knelt down and begged for him to come to his house. And in the case of the woman with the flow of blood, the woman did not express her faith openly but thought to herself and expressed it within herself. It was Jesus who told her that her faith had healed her. It is faith that heals whether it is expressed openly or lived secretly. Faith is essential.

நம்பிக்கை ஒன்றுதான் குணமளிக்கும்; உயிர்கொடுக்கும். நம்பிக்கை எல்லார் முன்னிலையிலும் வெளிப்படுத்தப் பட்டிருக்கலாம் அல்லது ரகசியமாகவும் வாழ்ந்து காட்டப்படலாம். ஆனால் நம்பிக்கை இருக்கவேண்டும்.
