[QUOTE="Articles, post: 31430787, member: 758"] A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. —[URL='http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/nlt/Mark5.25-27']Mark 5:25-27 NLT[/URL] [SIZE=3][B]Key Thought[/B][/SIZE] Jairus (whom we met in the preceding verses) was a man, and a woman was involved in the events in today's verses. Jairus was a religious leader, and the woman couldn't practice her faith openly because her problem made her ritually unclean. He was powerful, but she was lowly and destitute because of her illness. While on the opposite end of the spectrum from Jairus in many respects, the woman was in the same position in some crucial respects — she needed the Lord, and the Lord loved her. Both of these very different people demonstrated their faith in the Lord and took risks to get his help. They weren't disappointed by the result.
