Faith in Christ, Not the Robe—As He was passing, she [the infirm woman] reached forward and succeeded in barely touching the border of His garment. That moment she knew that she was healed. Her faith was centered, not in the robe, but in Him who wore the robe. In that one touch was concentrated the faith of her life, and instantly her pain and feebleness disappeared. Instantly she felt the thrill as of an electric current passing through every fiber of her being. There came over her a sensation of perfect health. “Straightway ... she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague” (Mark 5:29).—Lt 111, 1904. {2MCP 539.1}

(539) Tro på Kristus, ikke på kappen — Idet han gik forbi, rakte hun [den syge kvinde] ud efter ham og fik succes ved at blot berøre kvasten af Hans kappe. På det øjeblik hun vidste dette var hun helbredt. Hendes tro var ikke rettet mod kappen, men mod Ham som bar kappen. Denne ene berøring havde samlet troen for hendes liv, og smerten og svagheden forsvandt. Straks mærkede hun gyset som en elektrisk strøm gik igennem alle fibrene i hendes krop. Der kom en følelse af fuldkommen helbredelse over hende. ”Og straks . . . . mærkede hun i sit legeme, at hun var blevet lægt for sin plage.” (Mark 5,29).—Brev 111, 1904.
