If I could just touch his garment

Have you ever read a portion of scripture and thought to yourself, "how awesome would it have been to be there"? You can find one of those moments in Mark 5:

25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

If I could just touch his clothes! What an experience that would be to feel the healing power of Jesus Christ!

Did you know you have that opportunity? It is available to you through his blood. Christ invites you to come in contact with him at the cross. It was prophesied in Isaiah 53:

But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    and with his wounds we are healed.

In this race, the cross is the power of God (1 Cor 1:18) to heal you and put you on the right course to life!
