If He Did It for Her: How Mark 6 Shows Jesus Heals Today
The disciples land at Gennesaret after a long night on the water. Word spreads. People run the lanes, carry friends on mats, and line the roads. The request is simple and specific: “If we can just touch the border of His garment.” They had heard about a woman in the last chapter who did exactly that. Her story became their strategy. If He did it for her, He could do it for them.
The Question We All Carry
Everyone on that shoreline carried more than sickness. They carried questions.
What if I reach and nothing happens?
What if I am the only one who walks away the same?
What if I missed my moment?
If that sounds like you, you are not broken. You are honest. Even the disciples wrestled after watching Jesus still a storm. The good news is simple. The crowd did not ask for an explanation. They asked for a chance to touch.
Testimony Is a Trail, Not a Trophy
One woman’s private healing became a public pattern. Faith grows when you hear what Jesus has done.
Do not shelve testimonies. Follow them.
Treat testimonies like road signs, not scoreboards.
When a sign says “Jesus at work,” take the next turn.
The Man Is the Miracle
The crowd reached for the hem because of a story, not superstition. Israel wore tassels at the garment’s corners as a covenant reminder. Many hear in Malachi 4 the poetic image of healing under God’s wings. Either way, the power is not in thread or fabric. The power is in Jesus.
Mark says, “as many as touched Him were made well.”
Power flows from the Person, not the method.
The Name of Jesus is the Source: “His Name, through faith in His Name, has made this man strong” (Acts 3:16).
In Jesus “dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9).
Remember: Not the cloth, the Christ. Not the fringe, the Faithful One.
Healing That Makes You Whole
In the first century, sickness often pushed people to the edges of community. Jesus did more than remove pain. He ended exile.
“Show yourself to the priest” was a ticket back into the congregation.
“Daughter” restored a woman to family.
The lame man did not just feel better. He walked into the temple he had sat outside for years.
Result: Not just healed, home. Not just relief, return. Not just a cure, belonging.
How to Reach for Jesus Today
Keep it simple. Keep it biblical.
Hear what Jesus has done and let faith rise.
Come to Jesus. Take a step, ask for prayer.
Call on the Name of Jesus.
Obey the Word. Be anointed with oil and receive the prayer of faith.
Receive the Holy Ghost. The promise is for you and your children.
Tell what He has done so your story becomes someone’s trail.
Same Jesus. Same Power. Right Here.
Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He is the same, then His compassion is the same, His authority is the same, and His Spirit is the same.
The same Jesus who stilled the storm stills your storm.
The same Jesus who healed her body heals your body.
The same Jesus who broke their chains breaks your chains.
The same Jesus who called her “Daughter” calls you His own.
We are not reenacting a scene. We are responding to a Savior.
