Interrupting the Interrupter...

And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” (Matthew 9:19-21 ESV) As Jesus left the party at Matthew's house, responding to the ruler with a very sick daughter, he was once again interrupted by this woman. She was unclean, so tried to blend into the crowd to avoid any reaction. But Jesus knew. He was open to interruptions, not because he was unfocused, but because that was His focus - to zone in on anyone who was intent on coming to Him. Jesus is not avoiding us; He is not unwilling to be "interrupted" by us; He is simply waiting for us to come to Him, and to speak to Him as He walks by. Maybe the problem is we are not willing for Him to be an "interruption" in our lives...
