“And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His ( Jesus) garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
Matthew‬ ‭9:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is the same instance of healing as mentioned in Mark 5 but it’s from Mathew’s perspective. The woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment for her healing . You may wonder what is so special or unique about the ‘hem’ of the garment. Or what is so special about the hem of Jesus’ garment in particular that the woman believed and confessed and pressed her way through a great crowd that thronged Him despite her physical exhaustion, agony & frailty in order to be healed?

The word “hem” means “fringe or tassel or the border of a garment” It says in Numbers 15:38, “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners…” These tassels were on the corners of the prayer shawl worn around the neck of the Rabbis during the days of Jesus. Blue thread signified ‘ Righteousness’ . This woman when she touched the hem of His garment, she touched His Righteousness.

Again, why should she touch the hem of Jesus’ garment ?
The answer is found in Malachi 4:2 , “But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.” The word “wings” in the original Hebrew is the same word for “hem” ( tassel) . Hallelujah! It is not just touching any ‘hem’ . It is touching the “hem” of the Sun of Righteousness who is the Messiah, our Lord Jesus ! PRAISE JESUS !!

My beloved , how can you touch the hem of His garment today ? The word is in your mouth and in your heart . Speak aloud saying , “Lord Jesus ! You are my Righteousness ( my T’sidkenu) *!! Believe and confess, “*I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus “. Surely your steadfast confession will usher in your long awaited miracle today! Amen 🙏

Praise Jesus!

“Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5:25, 27, 29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is one of the loveliest passages of the Scriptures. Perhaps, this the only instance in the Gospels where someone received healing even without asking Jesus . In fact the Lord Jesus didn’t know until power went out of Him to heal her.
She came from behind Him and touched the hem of His garment. Because, the Law disqualified her. She had an issue of blood for about 12 years and as per Leviticus 15:25 , she was unclean & isolated from the entire community. Any physical contact would cause her death.
My beloved, this trauma is very palpable today, seeing how Covid 19 isolated those contracted the virus.

But, the good news is that when the law disqualifies us, when our age disqualifies us ( too old to get married or have a child or get a job) , when society disqualifies us , the Lord Jesus who is Grace personified qualifies us by His blood that has declared us righteous . He is the remedy to all our issues. Expect your miracle now !
Remember, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus .
Amen 🙏

“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Two important truth are revealed in the above verse:
1. No one has ever seen God. Not even the great Moses who could only see the back of Him. ( Exodus 33:20,23). Therefore all the portraits and the expressions of God, attempted by man in the past are just an attempt and could never bring forth the true Identity of God in the history of mankind. Each one thought how God may look like and is now and has given his or her own interpretation.

2. The One and the Only Son , who Himself is God and is in the closest relationship with God can ONLY make known the True Identity of God .

Jesus Christ came to reveal God to us . He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact likeness of God’s own being. He is the exact replica of God . Hallelujah! His life has revealed every aspect of God to mankind.
His birth and life on earth revealed God to us. However, His death and His resurrection made us completely righteous. His precious Blood alone has made God to dwell in us. Today , God is not just revealed to us but He is revealed in us – “Christ in you – the hope of Glory”

Just receive this Jesus as your Lord and confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and experience Him and His expression in you ( Christ in you). Amen 🙏

Praise Jesus!

“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Our understanding on righteousness can either frustrate the Grace of God or facilitate the Grace of God.
If righteousness comes by human goodness then the Grace of God can be frustrated. On the other hand if righteousness comes by Christ’s goodness , His obedience to God at the cross then the Grace of God is facilitated.
God’s favor is not based on how good I am but on how good Christ is !

That is why, it is inevitably important to confess and keep confessing that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Confessing Righteousness through Christ helps us to receive grace in every area of need and also it silences the human goodness that tries to boast which triggers off the functioning of the law. Hallelujah ! Amen 🙏

“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We are called & are expected to receive from God . We can give only when we receive first. In fact, the quality of giving directly depends upon how well we receive first of all.

The Word declares clearly that we receive out of His fullness and not out of what is left over. Unlike Esau, when came to his father to have his blessing, found that his brother Jacob had subtly taken away his blessing of the firstborn. Esau lamented and cried bitterly and asked his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?…“Have you only one blessing, my father?”.
But, we are highly privileged & blessed to receive of His fullness 24*7.

What do we receive ? “grace for grace” . The right translation is grace in the place of grace. I can’t live by yesterday’s grace. Every day has its own challenges . No two days are identical . I need fresh grace for today. Today’s grace in the place of yesterday’s grace.

Yes! I need fresh understanding of His grace every morning . “They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭. The revelation of Jesus is the fresh understanding of grace. All we are expected is to receive and keep receiving – the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness every day. Amen 🙏

“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John‬ ‭1:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The intent of the Law was to reveal to man the high standard of God to become righteous and also to reveal that he can’t keep these laws by himself. This draws him to Christ to open his heart to declare, “ Lord I can’t but You can”.

In fact, this is the basic meaning for faith- “Lord I can’t but you can”. This is what Abraham, the father of faith, understood and God accounted this to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6).

We all know that the blessings rest on the righteous. But, Scripture concludes that there is none righteous ( Romans 3:10,11). Such being the case, the wisest thing that you and I can do is to surrender and accept our inability and receive His ability. Grace is His ability that supplies in every area of lack or weakness.
But again , our greatest challenge is NOT our weakness rather our (human) strength. It’s easy to handle our weakness than the human strength.
For this reason, Apostle Paul said, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” I Corinthians‬ ‭15:10‬ .
Our confession that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus addresses both our weakness and our human strengths . Amen 🙏

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:14, 17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Glory of God . He is the completeness of God. The law was communicated to Israel through Moses. The law was assigned only to Israel / Jews and never meant to be given to non- Israelites or otherwise referred to as Gentiles.

This is because, of all the nations, Israel was chosen of God , whose genesis began from father Abraham , with whom God made a covenant to bless his descendants after him and through them the whole world.

Israel was a pure breed ( pedigree) and the chosen covenant people & yet they couldn’t keep the law. If the best of the breeds couldn’t keep, how then could the rest of the breeds ( gentiles) keep the law?
Therefore, God sent His only Son Jesus to fulfil all that the Law required to satisfy His justice and righteousness. Through Christ’s perfect obedience, abundance of grace and gift of Righteousness is given to bless mankind not only the Jews but also the whole world. Hallelujah!

His coming into this world brought the Permanent Glory of God to be resident IN us so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled IN us and NOT BY us ( Romans 8:4) . Hallelujah! What a relief !! The onus ( responsibility) to fulfill God’s standard doesn’t lie on us. Jesus in me is the hope of Glory, working in me what is required by God.

All I have to do today is to accept His divine working in me and confess that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus .
Amen 🙏

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Transformation is God- designed, God-provided, God-executed. That’s why it’s permanent and forever. Any change that originates from human thinking and executed never last long. We may modify our lifestyle, we may avoid places and people in order that our woeful past doesn’t trigger off. We may change locations or jobs to have a new atmosphere , yet the pattern of thinking hasn’t changed.

Life in Christ, is a new beginning . You are a new creation . You are a brand new man . Old things have passed away and behold all things become new ! Receive this new life , new life style , a new way of thinking .. thinking victorious , thinking vibrant, thinking like Christ . Hallelujah!
Jesus didn’t come to bring in more rules to mankind. He came to give life and abundant life. Receiving Jesus is experiencing fullness of life . Amen 🙏

“Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.” John‬ ‭9:40-41‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The best of your goodness is still well short of God. It’s not how ‘good’ you are , it is how ‘God-kind’ you are that matters to God. Pharisees and even the religions of today fail to comprehend this. Still worse is that we get into a ‘comparative mode’ ( horizontal dimension ) when our true comparison should be in the vertical dimension.

Isaiah, the great prophet fell into this syndrome of horizontal comparison. He started cursing the people around him till the chapter 5 of Isaiah . But the moment God revealed Himself to Isaiah in Chapter 6 , he saw his wretched state and was then completely transformed . It is after this encounter with God, his life and ministry had a 180 degree turn and he went on to prophesy in detail the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah . The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters, which many scholars of the Bible call as ‘a mini Bible’, for the Bible has 66 books in it .

See what transformation can do in a man’s life! Even so today, your life and your endeavours can radically change through the transforming power of Christ by the Spirit of the Living God. It only takes you to believe this ( as stated above ) and confess with your mouth repeatedly that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus ( mental assent won’t help). Amen 🙏

“You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:2-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How true the words of our Lord Jesus who said , “ A tree is known by its fruit! “ If the root is good , the fruit will also be good and vice versa. One can’t act to be different for a long time, for the true colour will manifest soon . I may colour my hair as ‘natural black’ but soon it will show the true colour. But a true believer of Christ, can’t be different from Christ .

Jesus Christ was sought by the sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes , the sick, the depressed & the forsaken. Every one of these who came in touch with Jesus was totally transformed . The sick were completely healed forever and even began to minister healing to others . The demon possessed were completely delivered and began to minister deliverance to others. No religious teaching nor motivational speeches can bring this complete transformation in human beings .

Transformation can only happen when you encounter Christ. When you see Jesus, you become Jesus. That’s the meaning of ‘Epistle of Christ’, written by the Spirit of the Living God in our hearts .

What does He write?
That all your sins are forgiven ; that you are righteous in the sight of God forever; that you are highly favoured and always accepted in the sight of God ; that God who once seemed million miles away, now dwells in the inside of you .
You may ask me , “what should I do to experience all that you have written ?”
Just believe that Jesus died for you and in your heart receive the Lord Jesus who is risen forever. Having done this, Confess that you are the righteousness of God day and night and soon you will experience the transformation in every aspect of your life and the world will testify: “Christ is in you”.
Amen 🙏
