What have Jairus, the grieving father and the bleeding woman in common? Jairus was a religious leader who faithfully served God but his daughter was dying. The bleeding woman was a social outcast because she was considered unclean. Both came to Jesus for help. Jairus humbled himself publicly before Jesus while the bleeding woman snuck up behind Jesus' back to touch the hem of His garment. Both received the healing power of Jesus. Regardless of our background, we also can receive the healing power of God if we draw near to Jesus.
