5.―Confession

I had a malady, she says, which no one else could heal. Alas, that Christ should be the very last we come to for healing Yet He is the first to meet our case, and to pardon and heal. Many a soul has heard of Christ, and has come to Him; and there has been the touch of faith, and after the faith has come the feeling, but it has failed to own or confess what has taken place, and hence never gets fully clear as to what grace does for its object.
This woman owns publicly what has taken place. She confesses Christ before all, and He confesses her. We have here one of the loveliest confirmation scenes in all Scripture.
