Coffee Break
"What's Between You?"
"When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind,
and touched his garment." Mark 5:27
Many Bible teachers and preachers talk about the woman with
the issue of blood and how she was healed just by touching the hem of
Jesus' garment. But before she touched Him, she had many obstacles
to overcome. There was a lot that stood between her and
Jesus. The weakness of her body, her failing health, the law, the
throng of people all stood in her way. I want to ask you this
morning, "What's standing in your way?" What is it that
stands between you and Jesus and hinders you from "touching"
Him? Is there some sin in your life that does? Is there a
lust in your flesh that you can't get past? Is it a person? Are
they more important to you than He is? Are you afraid of what they
will think of you? Is it lack of desire or just plain
laziness? Just what is it that keeps you from pressing to get to
Him each day?
No one could have blamed this woman if she had stopped short
of touching Jesus because of her overwhelming circumstance. But she
didn't stop. She didn't let the magnitude of her situation stop
her. She didn't let anything or any one deter or hinder her from
getting to Him. She could have made excuses, she could have
justified herself if she had stopped or not pursued after Him, but she
didn't.... she went on. What about you? Are you making
excuses as to why you aren't pressing toward Him? Again, I ask
you,"What's standing between you and Jesus that stops you from
getting to Him?
Have a great day. What's between you and Jesus so that
you aren't touching Him?
