A Miracle of Touch (15 of 16)
Series: The Miracles of Luke

Luke 8:40-48
It seems a crowd followed Jesus everywhere He went and it didn't seem to matter what He was doing. This is certainly understandable. They had seen Him feed the hungry, heal the sick, and raise the dead. Who wouldn't follow a show like that? And what a crowd! The word for multitude in this passage doesn't describe an orderly crowd following Jesus and the disciples at a respectable distance. No, this word describes an almost riotous or thronging crowd. There were people everywhere and they were all over Jesus and His disciples. This must have been an almost exhausting way for these men to live.
It was during one of these thronging times that one of Luke's most significant miracles occurred. This was truly a miracle of touch. The interesting thing is that it was not Jesus touching a sick woman it was her touch of Him that saved her. The fact is, most of us are just sitting around asking the Lord to touch us and wondering why He doesn't when the real problem is that we haven't touched Him by faith.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
45 And Jesus said, ''Who touched Me?''
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, ''Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'''
46 But Jesus said, ''Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going o ...
