The Touch That Transforms
Mark 5:25-34.
We have visited the 5th chapter of the gospel of Mark in previous messages because this chapter

Christ over the man who was demon possessed. At the end of the chapter we have the miraculous
power of Jesus in the life of the little girl who was dead and in the middle of the passage we have

them in their need and so on this particular occasion we have an overpouring and an overflow from
the cup of the Lord's compassion and mercy and a woman who had a terrible malady was miraculously

lives. Jesus Christ meets the needs of men as the man who was demon possessed, Jesus Christ can
meet the needs of young people as in the life of the little girl who was dead and Jesus Christ can
meet the needs of women as in the example of this woman here. There was never anyone and never
has been anyone whoever walked on this earth who so elevated the position of womanhood as did
the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus came into this world women were not considered ...
