I keep thinking about something I read recently. It talks about the verse from Malachi where the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. I believe that could be a messianic prophecy. I understand that the Hebrew word for wings, kaneph, can also refer to the corners of a garment.

I keep thinking about that woman with the issue of blood who was desperate to get to Jesus. She knew that even if she could grab a corner of His garment, she would be healed. She knew that there would be healing in His “wings” because she believed He was the very Messiah that her people had waited for since day one.

Here’s the point: She was willing to risk the ridicule and the ruining of her reputation for the reward of her Redeemer. She didn’t care who saw her crawling on her hands and knees to get to Jesus. She didn’t care if she wasn’t dignified in her pursuit of forgiveness and salvation. It was worth risking literally everything for a handful of tassel.

What is Jesus worth to you? Is He worth the risk? Are you willing to hang on to the thread of His garment, no matter what? Then you’re in a good place. That’s where Jesus finds you.
