1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And when the woman saw that she 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: was not hid, she came trembling and falling down before him. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: She declared unto him before all the people, for what 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: cause she had touched him, and how she was healed 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: immediately Luke eight forty seven. Jesus, you are the author 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: of life. You are the one that can make dead 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: things alive again. And with this truth I release faith 8 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: and anticipation into my day. I believe that with my 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: whole heart, that when life deals me blows of disappointment 10 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: and im bleeding defeat from within, that just one touch 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: from you can change everything. When my faith is low 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: and my energy is drained, position me Holy Spirit in 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: the place where Jesus is so that I can receive 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: my healing and restoration. I don't care about what others 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: are saying, or or about how many times I might 16 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: get knocked down. I will not stop until I am 17 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: restored and made whole in the same way you healed 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: the girl. Jesus, I pronounce healing and life to flow 19 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: into every place of my life because you are willing, Jesus. 20 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: I realize that as I activate my faith, like Jerius, 21 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: dormant dreams and dormant promises will arise to meet my 22 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: attention and affection in Jesus name. Amen, thank you for 23 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: making prayer a priority in your day. To learn more 24 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: about the Bible, stay tuned for today's story, brought to 25 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: you by Bible in a Year dot com. 26 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: The Little Girl and Bleeding Woman. In our last story, 27 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: Jesus showed his authority over wind, rain, and sea. With 28 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: a word of might, he calmed the raging storm and 29 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: saved the Apostles from certain death. Once the storm had subsided, 30 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: Jesus faced a man who was plagued with a legion 31 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: of demons. The man raged and thrashed, with the unholy 32 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: Spirit controlling his body. Jesus calmed the man's soul just 33 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: as he did the storm. Now we see the tender 34 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: heart of Christ take care of two girls. One had 35 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: suffered from a debilitating illness, the other had tasted death itself. 36 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: Jesus showed his compassionate power by kneeling down and healing 37 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: both of them, as inspired by the Gospels. 38 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome once again to the Bible in a 39 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: Year podcast. I'm Jack Graham. In our last episode, we 40 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: heard how Jesus calmed the stormy seas and cast out 41 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: a legion of demons with nothing more than his words. 42 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: He demonstrates his powerful command over the forces of nature 43 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: and the forces of evil in this world. As the 44 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: disciples witness his power, their wonder and amazement grew, even 45 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: though their faith remained immature and easily shaken. Today we'll 46 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: see how the Lord cares for a long suffering woman 47 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: and a dying girl. We will once again hear how 48 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: God's mercy, grace and healing truly knows no limits and 49 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: is available to all without respect for age, gender, position, 50 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: or background. So let's hear the word of God. Today. 51 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: Another crowd flurried around Jesus. They are desperate. Cries from 52 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: all words of wisdom and acts of healing were deafening. 53 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: His popularity had stretched to the furthest reaches of Judea 54 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: and Samaria. Not a traveler passed through the land without 55 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: hearing his name, as Jesus often did. He walked beside 56 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: the sea. He enjoyed the way the water and wind 57 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: amplified his voice for all to hear, and if need be, 58 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: he could make a quick escape onto a boat if 59 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: things got out of hand. Jesus was tending to the crowd, 60 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: teaching them the ways of the kingdom. A faint yell 61 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: could be heard from the sea of faces. Jesus. 62 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: He yelled. 63 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: His head was barely poking out of the vast crowd. However, 64 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: Jesus knew his voice. It was the voice of Jeris, 65 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: one of the synagogue rulers. Jesus gestured for him to 66 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: be let through. Jeris fell at his feet, sobbing. It 67 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: was odd for the people to see a man of 68 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: such power groveling before anybody. This showed Jesus's true influence. 69 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 2: Jirus looked up at Jesus and said, please, Lord, my daughter. 70 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: My little girl is sick to the point of death. 71 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: There is no pain like a parent in fear of 72 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: losing a child. Jesus could feel its palpable presence in Jerus. 73 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Say no more, Jesus said, lead on, and I will 74 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: go to your daughter. So Jesus got down from the 75 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: boat where he was sitting and stepped into the crowd. 76 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: They were violently seeking his attention. His fame had caused 77 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: a great deal of chaos. Wherever he went. The crowd 78 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: grabbed at him and shoved him in every direction. His 79 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: disciples took it upon themselves to make a way for 80 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: Jesus and Jeeris to get through, but it was an 81 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: exhausting task. As Jesus made his way through the forceful crowd, 82 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: a small and quiet presence followed him. Her hand was 83 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: small and shaking. Her once beautifully lushed face was gray 84 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: and fading. A woman followed closely behind Jesus, reaching out 85 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: to touch him. Her entire body trembled as blood slowly 86 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 2: dripped down her inner thighs. She had had a discharge 87 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: of blood for over twelve years. The seeping blood from 88 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: her lower half caused a great deal of pain and 89 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: sapped much energy from her. Yet worst of all, it 90 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: made her unclean and Jewish tradition. She was unable to 91 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 2: enter the synagogues or temples. She was unable to go 92 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: to feasts and celebrations. She was unable to marry. Her 93 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: last penny was spent on physicians. They could not help her. 94 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: She was hopeless and alone until she heard about the 95 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: man named Jesus. She could see Jesus so close, yet 96 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 2: so far. He was only a few feet away, but 97 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 2: the violent crowd was continually tugging or tossing her to 98 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: the ground. She reached for him and missed. She tried 99 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: to call out his name, but the people were too loud. 100 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: She got up to her feet and tried to run 101 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: towards him, but someone pulled her back and her face 102 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: fell into the stony ground. She thought of giving up 103 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: and just remaining on the ground. She would be trampled 104 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: and her miserable life would be ended. No, she thought 105 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: to herself, if I could just touch his garments, I 106 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: know I will be healed. She lifted herself up up 107 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: and crawled towards Jesus. In one last effort, she threw 108 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: herself towards him and barely touched the hem of his garment. 109 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: She fell to her knees. Jesus stopped and turned around. 110 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: Who touched me? He asked his disciples. They laughed at first, 111 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: they thought he was joking. Are you serious, they asked him. 112 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: Thousands of people are grabbing at you, and you ask 113 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: who touched me. Jesus shook his head. No, he clarified 114 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: this was different. Jesus looked around and saw the woman 115 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: kneeling on the floor being rammed in the head by 116 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: random people in the crowd. Jesus knelt down and touched her. Shoulders. 117 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go and 118 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: be free, Jesus said, with a warm smile. Tears streamed 119 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: down the woman's face. She was speechless. No words could 120 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: quite thank Jesus properly, so she bowed to him and left. Please, Lord, 121 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: we will be too late, Jirus begged. Jesus stood to 122 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: his feet and continued to walk forward. As they made 123 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: their way out of the main streets, the crowd began 124 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: to settle. Only a few people remained Jesus, Jirus, and 125 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: the twelve disciples. They approached the home, and a member 126 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: of Jerus's family ran to them. His face was grim, dried, 127 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: tears and dirt caked his face. She's gone, he whispered 128 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: to Jirus. Do not trouble the teacher any further. Jesus 129 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: overheard the two men whispering. He interrupted them and said, 130 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: it is not so. He said, do not be afraid, 131 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: believe in me and watch. Jesus gestured for Peter, James 132 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: and John to come with him into the house. In 133 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: a small courtyard, many people were wailing and weeping on 134 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: the floor. The halls echoed with tears and mourning. It 135 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: was the saddest thing Peter, James or John had ever witnessed. 136 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 2: It was clear that the little girl meant a great 137 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: deal to them. Jesus walked up to the women weeping 138 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 2: and asked, why is every when making such a commotion 139 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 2: The child is only sleeping. The woman scoffed at him. 140 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: His words seemed insensitive and almost evil. However, behind Jesus's 141 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: questions were a promise. He took Jerus, his wife, and 142 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: the three men with him upstairs. They entered the door, 143 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: and there, lying on the bed was the girl's lifeless body. 144 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: She could not have been more than twelve. Her once 145 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: rosy cheeks were white. Jesus walked over to her body 146 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 2: slowly and knelt by the side of her bed. He 147 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: held her little hand in his Jesus's eyes waddered as 148 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: he held the little girl. Death was never God's intention. 149 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: He is the author of life. Jesus kissed the little 150 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: girl's hand and said, talitha komi, which means little girl, arise. 151 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: The girl's chest began to rise steadily up and down. 152 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 2: Color was slowly returning to her face. Jesus smiled as 153 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: her beautiful brown eyes opened. She sat up, stretched and 154 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: yawned as if she had awoken from a long nap. 155 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: Jesus laughed with joy as the others in the room 156 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: awed in amazement. The two parents rushed to their daughter's side, 157 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: kissing her and hugging her. Jerus wiped tears from his 158 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: eyes and looked up at Jesus with a face of gratitude. Jesus, Peter, James, 159 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: and John left the room so the family could be together. 160 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: As he left, he turned to one of the servants 161 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: and asked for her to bring the little girl some food. 162 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: As we begin today's reading, we find Jesus once again 163 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: surrounded by great crowds of people, each one eager to 164 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: hear his words and perhaps even witness a miraculous sign 165 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: as he heals someone from the crowd. Jesus' renown was 166 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: growing by leaps and bounds as more and more people 167 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: in the region heard what he could do. This was 168 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: certainly an annoyance, even a threat to the religious leaders. 169 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: They wanted Jesus just to go away so they could 170 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: have control and power over the people. Of course, not 171 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: all of the religious elite despised Jesus, and today we 172 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: meet one such person, a synagogue ruler by the name 173 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: of Jyros. He had gone out that day to find Jesus. 174 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 3: Whether out of true respect and belief or just out 175 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 3: of sheer desperation, we do not know. But the fact 176 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: was that his precious young daughter was embedded home, sick 177 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: and dying. Sickness and death are really the great equalizers. 178 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: No matter what one's wealth or power or position may 179 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: be in society, when illness or the threat of death comes, 180 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 3: we are all the same. We are all in a 181 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 3: helpless state. And so Jerius did what any loving parent 182 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: would do. He sought out every last answer in order 183 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: to try to save his child. Jesus was seemingly his 184 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: last hope. So when he found him that day, he 185 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: pleaded with Jesus not from a position of authority, but 186 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: one of deep and desperate needs help. Jesus immediately stopped 187 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: what he was doing and went with Gyrus. It is 188 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 3: a reminder that so often in life the interruptions are 189 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: in fact on opportunity for ministry. As Gyrous led him 190 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: and they pushed through the crowd, suddenly Jesus stopped and 191 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 3: asked an unusual question, who touched me? To all around 192 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: it seemed to be a ridiculous question. There were people everywhere. 193 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: He was being touched all the time, but Jesus had 194 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 3: felt something different. Power had gone out from him in 195 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: that moment, and so a woman confessed to touching him, 196 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 3: hoping that even just a brush against the hem of 197 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: his garment would heal her disease, a lifelong problem with 198 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 3: bleeding which made her unclean and unhealthy. This tragic condition 199 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: had left her destitute and alone, unable to even enter 200 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: the Temple of Worship to worship God or to celebrate 201 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 3: with her people. Jesus looked at her with kindness and 202 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: grace and told her to go home in peace, and 203 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 3: fully healed her because of her faith. This is a 204 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: great moment in scripture which shows us not only our 205 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: lord's caring heart and immense power, but his ability to 206 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: know when we cry out to him. It also shows 207 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: us that Jesus had both full control and full awareness 208 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 3: of his power. Not everyone who touched him was healed, 209 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 3: though certainly some in the crowd had ailments that Jesus 210 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: could have healed. But when this woman approached him with 211 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: such faith and touched him, Jesus allowed healing power to 212 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: depart from his body to meet her deep need of 213 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: healing and restoration. It wasn't by her might, or her actions, 214 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: or even her touch that she was healed, but by 215 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: faith and power in Christ. While he was still with 216 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: the crowd, someone came to inform Jyrus that his daughter 217 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 3: had passed away. There was no need, it seemed, for 218 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 3: Jesus to proceed to his home, because nothing could be done. 219 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: But as we know, what is impossible for man is 220 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: possible with God. How Jesus responds in Mark five thirty six. 221 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler 222 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: of the synagogue, do not fear, only believe, Oh, that 223 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: we could live by those words. Do not fear, only believe. 224 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: Jesus continued onto the home of Jyrus, taking only his 225 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 3: three closest disciples, Peter, James, and John. They arrived to 226 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: quite a scene, mourners already wailing and making a commotion 227 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: outside the home. He spoke calmly to them, assuring them 228 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: that the girl was not dead, only sleeping. But nobody believed, 229 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: and they laughed at his words. Jesus then entered the 230 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: home with his three disciples and the girl's parents, and 231 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: going to her bedside, he took her hand and spoke 232 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: tenderly over her, a rise, little girl, and at his 233 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 3: command she shook off the chains of death and rose fully, 234 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: recovered and restored into the arms of her joyous parents. 235 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: Jesus is still speaking words to God's children today through 236 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: the Bible, by his spirit, calling us who are spiritually 237 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: dead to rise to a new life that only he offers. 238 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 3: The one who is the resurrection and the life. This 239 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: is the message, the glorious, gracious message of the good News, 240 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: the Gospel. The God who healed the sick and raised 241 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: the dead is able to heal and give life to 242 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: all who will call upon his name. The Bible says, 243 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Lord, 244 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: we call upon your name, and we trust you as 245 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: our Lord and Savior. May we follow you all the 246 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 3: days of our lives, and may our hearts always be 247 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: devoted to you. Thank you for your restoration and healing 248 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: in our lives and the forgiveness of our sins. In 249 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: Jesus's name.
