A little bit of God can go a long way
Benjamin ValentinRESUMEN:
In this sermon, the speaker reflects on the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Matthew 9. He emphasizes the details of her life, including her isolation and suffering due to her illness and social stigma. Despite this, the woman, who the speaker calls Veronica, had hope and a strong faith in God. She overcame obstacles to reach Jesus, believing that even a small encounter with him could produce a miracle. The speaker emphasizes the phrase "if only I could," pointing out that even a small encounter with God can have powerful results.
The writer discusses the story of Veronica, who believed that a simple touch of Jesus' clothing would heal her, and encourages readers to have faith that even a little encounter with God can go a long way. They also emphasize that life's circumstances should not define us and that we should never give up hope, as the mantle of Jesus is always within reach. The writer leads the readers in a prayer for healing and deliverance, trusting in God's power.Verse 20 of Matthew 9: “Behold, a woman sick with an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the hem of his cloak; Because she said within herself: if I only touch the edge of his cloak I will be saved; But Jesus, turning around and looking at her, said: Take heart, daughter, your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.”
Before the sermon I am going to ask you a favor, we are going to repeat a few words out loud with me, we are going to say these words: “a little bit of God can go a long way”, a little bit of God can go a long way, very well.
