Think about these things as we look at the text.

) What answer does Jesus give the Woman and Jarius when all seems lost?Slide6

 

When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the

lake.

 

Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 

 

He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” 

 

So Jesus went with him

.Slide7

Social convention is tossed out the window when you are faced with terrible loss.

Jesus never responds to their pleas with judgement or sarcasm. He hurts with them.Slide8

A large

crowd followed and pressed around him. 

 

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 

 

She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 

 Slide9

 

When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 

 

because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 

 

Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

 

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes

?”Slide10

 

“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

 

But Jesus

kept looking around to see who had done it. 

 

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 

 

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering

.”Slide11

Religio-centric cultural norms are tossed aside in the pursuit of hope and healing.

Jesus is not offended but acknowledge the impressive risk taking faith of the Woman.Slide12

 

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

 Slide13

 

Overhearing

 what they said, Jesus told him, 

Don’t be afraid; just believe

.”Slide14

Jesus relishes lost causes – but at that point people are willing to see Him as He is.

Jesus tells Jarius to reject his fear and sorrow and to have faith – to just believe.Slide15

 

He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 

 

When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, 

Jesus

saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing

loudly.

 

He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 

 

But they laughed at him

.Slide16

After

he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 

 

He took her by the hand and said to her, 

“Talitha koum!”

 (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 

 

Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 

 

He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this

, and

told them to give her something to eat

. - Mark 5:21-43Slide17
