In Luke 8, the evangelist recounts two powerful healings. As Christ makes His way to Jairus’ home to heal his dying daughter, a woman suffering from an issue of blood for many years reaches out in desperate faith and touches His raiment. Perceiving that healing power had gone out from Him, Jesus stops to minister to her, assuring her, “Thy faith hath made thee whole” (Luke 8:48). At that moment, a messenger arrives, telling the anxious Jairus—who stands behind the Savior in this painting—that his daughter has died. Jesus immediately turns to Jairus and says, “Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole” (Luke 8:50), a sure promise fulfilled for both the woman and Jairus’ daughter.
“The Savior’s power to heal is unlimited. . . . He will lift us all.”
