Another chapter to come

There are two stories woven together in Matthew’s Gospel this week. A woman who has been bleeding for twelve years reaches out to touch the hem of Jesus’ cloak. A little girl lies dying while her father desperately searches for help. At first glance, they seem like separate stories. But perhaps they are really one…
