But there is another way to look at this story. Jesus is God Incarnate, God made flesh, and the power of God is in him. When Jesus heals the woman, it is the power of God coming forth from him to heal her, to set her free. He can do no other, for in the face of Satan, God’s power must be revealed. Yes, we have here a manifestation (a showing) of God’s compassion and goodness, as embodied in Jesus Christ, but we also have a manifestation of God’s power.
