"Daughter, your Faith has made you well, Go in peace."...Luke 8: 48

Luke 8: 43-48...  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 out from Me.” ⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.  ⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

During our discussion in our Bible study of this story, we see similarities with other stories where Jesus' healing was attributed to the faith that He witnessed;
.......the healing of the centurion's servant in Luke 7:9...“I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”. 
.......the healing of the leper in Luke 5: 2-13...¹² And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”  ¹³ Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

Jesus made himself available to those in need and as those in need sought Him in faith, they received and left differently than they were before their encounter.  Christ makes himself available to us as well.  One thing is very clear, however; those who came to Jesus in faith also knew the condition they were in.  They turned to Jesus because they had no where else to turn; and He responded to them. 

But we see an example with the rich young ruler (Luke 18: 18-23) where the person coming to Jesus doesn't recognize his true condition and therefore leaves the encounter with Christ disappointed.  The  rich youg man wanted to follow Jesus but Jesus prescribed a healing that required a  faith in Christ that the man did not have...and the man missed out on the "healing" that Jesus offered.

We all  have faith but in whom or in what do we put that faith?  We see in Jesus that he makes himself available to us so that all we need to do is put our faith in Him, confessing and acknowledging our true sinful condition and our need for Him, and he will heal us. We also see in the final words to the healed woman, that His desire for us as we leave our encounter with Him is that we "GO IN PEACE!"
