Mark 5:29

(Summary of previous few verses: The woman had been bleeding for twelve years, she came up behind Jesus touched his cloak and...)
"Immediately her hemorrage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease."

Not only had this woman had the faith to know that Jesus could heal her - and that he could heal her just by a touch of his cloak - but then when she was healed, she had the faith to know it and believe it. To know, immediately that this was it, she was healed of her disease. No "immediately she thought "this is a good day, I wonder what tomorrow will be like?""
Pretty cool!

Revelation 1: 17b18

"Don't be afraid! I am the first and the last, the living one. I was dead but now I am alive forever. I have the keys of death and hell."

The various and broad ranging descriptions of God and Jesus in Revelation and fantastic. Opening up our eyes, minds and hearts to new and different ways of imagining them, praising them, worshipping them, understanding them.

I'm slowly working my way through Revelation at the mo so expect more of the same!
