S – “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be healed from your affliction.”
Mk 5:34 CSB
O – Commentary;
The affectionate title, Daughter (its only recorded use by Jesus) signified her new relationship with Him (cf. 3:33–35). Jesus attributed her cure to her faith rather than the touch of His clothing. Her faith healed her (lit., “has saved or delivered you”; cf. 5:28; 10:52) in that it caused her to seek healing from Jesus. Faith, confident trust, derives its value not from the one who expresses it, but from the object in which it rests
“Mark,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – I love this whole story. Great caveat today – by her faith, the woman is healed. But so much more than that. She no longer is an “unclean,” an outcast, a person identified by her issue. She is given a name (“daughter”) that Jesus only used for her – much like us in our own intimate relationship with God. And great commentary thought on faith deriving its value from the object of belief and not the one expressing it.
R – Lord, you can do all things and your purpose and will cannot be stopped. I set my faith on You today. You can do all things needed in my life today that will draw me closer to you. In doing so, I want my relationship with you to grow and my trust to go deeper. You alone are the object of my faith.
