Let’s turn to the Gospel of Mark where we find two separate individuals who have an encounter with Jesus.
In Mark 2:1-12, we find the paralyzed man who was lowered through the roof of a home by his friends. This man had lost his identity and purpose within society as his infirmity left him to being a beggar.
Then in Mark 5:24-34, we read the story of the woman with the issue of blood. She had both a unique and personal encounter with Jesus which resulted in her healing. Due to her issue of blood, this woman was ceremonially unclean and was also considered an outcast. She, too, had lost all purpose and identity within society.
Both of these people had lost their identities due to the restrictions placed upon them by the Law and society. Yet here is an interesting thought:
Along with healing each of these people, Christ also restored their identity and their relationship with Himself.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE where we will look at the deeper work Jesus did in each of these lives through their physical healing.
