Have you ever wondered in a real sense what it means to be saved? Maybe not, unless you’ve come against a situation in which you became aware of how much you actually needed saving. Although the word “saved” appears throughout the Gospels, we probably miss that the full meaning of the Greek word sozo includes healed, restored, made whole. Today’s wonderful Gospel about two women who were healed illuminates God’s saving ways and invitation to abundant life. Jesus’ saving action for Jairus’ daughter and the woman with the hemorrhage extended way beyond restoring the one to life and relieving twelve years of suffering for the other.
