Then verse 27-28 she hears of Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. For she thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.” The woman planned to slip away and get lost in the crowd, but Jesus turned and stopped her. Tenderly, He elicited from her a wonderful testimony of what the Lord had done for her. Why did Jesus deal with her publicly? Why did He not simply permit her to remain anonymous and go her way? My friend, He wanted to be to her something more than a healer: He wanted to be her Savior. He wanted her to look into His face, feel His tenderness, and hear His loving words of assurance. By the time He finished speaking to her, she experienced something more than physical healing. We see in verse 34 that He called her "daughter" and sent her on her way with a benediction of peace. To "be made whole" meant much more than receiving mere physical healing, Jesus had given her spiritual healing as well!
My friend, Jesus wants us to feel His tenderness and hear His loving words of assurance also. Trust in the Lord through the adversities in your life. 1 Peter 5: 6-7 "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."
