But at last she hears of Christ. Her despairing heart is roused to hope again.
If all she had to do was touch him, it tells us how easy it is to come to Christ. It is hard in some ways because my pride stands in the way of such an act, but when we are brought to the end of all pride, he does not require some great accomplishment from us in order to be saved.
You may believe he is Christ, but you don’t come to him. You watch from a distance, and see others being saved, but you do not come near yourself. We must meet with him in heart and appeal to him to make us his children. Others may want to come to him but there are obstacles in the way and they are too easily put off. I am worried maybe about the change that will happen to me. What will others say if I get serious about Christianity? If I start to follow him, will I be able to keep it up? How can I face life in future without my sins? There are things I don’t understand about the Bible. Shouldn’t I be able to answer all these questions before I come. The majority of people in this world are not Christians. Are they right? Am I really willing to let God see deep within me?
