Clinging to Christ in Faith
Commentators see the woman's refusal to let go as a picture of a believer's relationship with Jesus. This 'holding fast' represents an active, earnest faith that clings to Christ through prayer and trust in His promises. Scholars like Matthew Henry note that Jesus is not offended by this persistence; rather, He is 'well pleased with it,' providing a model for how we should cherish our communion with Him.
