WEBVTT - Jack Graham - Oct 12 - 9:30 pm

0:00:00.940 --> 0:00:03.290
<v Speaker 1>And when the woman saw that she was not hid,

0:00:03.830 --> 0:00:07.990
<v Speaker 1>she came trembling and falling down before him. She declared

0:00:08.050 --> 0:00:11.229
<v Speaker 1>unto him before all the people for what cause she

0:00:11.270 --> 0:00:17.410
<v Speaker 1>had touched him and how she was healed immediately. Luke

0:00:17.410 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>8.47 Jesus, you are the author of life. You are

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.740
<v Speaker 1>the one that can make dead things alive again. And

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:32.820
<v Speaker 1>with this truth, I release faith and anticipation into my day.

0:00:35.140 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I believe that with my whole heart, that when life

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>deals me blows of disappointment, and I'm bleeding defeat from within,

0:00:45.330 --> 0:00:51.470
<v Speaker 1>that just one touch from you can change everything. When

0:00:51.510 --> 0:00:56.190
<v Speaker 1>my faith is low and my energy is drained, position me,

0:00:56.330 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Holy Spirit, in the place where Jesus is. so that

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.820
<v Speaker 1>I can receive my healing and restoration. I don't care

0:01:05.860 --> 0:01:09.170
<v Speaker 1>about what others are saying or about how many times

0:01:09.270 --> 0:01:13.950
<v Speaker 1>I might get knocked down. I will not stop until

0:01:14.050 --> 0:01:19.590
<v Speaker 1>I am restored and made whole. In the same way

0:01:19.630 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you healed the girl, Jesus, I pronounce healing and life

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to flow into every place of my life. Because you

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.690
<v Speaker 1>are willing, Jesus, I realize that as I activate my

0:01:33.780 --> 0:01:40.430
<v Speaker 1>faith like Jarius, dormant dreams and dormant promises will arise

0:01:40.530 --> 0:01:48.090
<v Speaker 1>to meet my attention and affection. In Jesus' name, amen.

0:01:50.130 --> 0:01:52.850
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for making prayer a priority in your day.

0:01:53.610 --> 0:01:57.050
<v Speaker 1>To learn more about the Bible, stay tuned for today's story.

<v Speaker 1>Brought to you by BibleInAYear.com.

0:02:13.100 --> 0:02:17.339
<v Speaker 2>THE LITTLE GIRL AND BLEEDING WOMAN In our last story,

0:02:17.419 --> 0:02:22.019
<v Speaker 2>Jesus showed his authority over wind, rain, and sea. With

0:02:22.060 --> 0:02:24.970
<v Speaker 2>a word of might, he calmed the raging storm and

0:02:25.060 --> 0:02:29.370
<v Speaker 2>saved the apostles from certain death. Once the storm had subsided,

0:02:29.669 --> 0:02:32.210
<v Speaker 2>Jesus faced a man who was plagued with a legion

0:02:32.250 --> 0:02:36.110
<v Speaker 2>of demons. The man raged and thrashed with the unholy

0:02:36.210 --> 0:02:40.460
<v Speaker 2>spirit controlling his body. Jesus calmed the man's soul just

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.630
<v Speaker 2>as he did the storm. Now we see the tender

0:02:43.669 --> 0:02:46.910
<v Speaker 2>heart of Christ take care of two girls. One had

0:02:46.990 --> 0:02:50.970
<v Speaker 2>suffered from a debilitating illness. The other had tasted death itself.

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.580
<v Speaker 2>Jesus showed his compassionate power by kneeling down and healing

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>both of them, as inspired by the Gospels.

0:03:02.540 --> 0:03:05.180
<v Speaker 3>Hello, I'm Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible

0:03:05.210 --> 0:03:08.270
<v Speaker 3>in a Year podcast. But before we begin, I want

0:03:19.750 --> 0:03:23.070
<v Speaker 3>the daily tasks and pressures and burdens that bring stress

0:03:23.130 --> 0:03:26.810

<v Speaker 3>from Stress today by visiting jackgram.org slash stress. That's jackgram.org

0:03:33.930 --> 0:03:38.369
<v Speaker 3>slash stress. In our last episode, We heard how Jesus

0:03:38.430 --> 0:03:41.390
<v Speaker 3>calmed the stormy seas and cast out a legion of

0:03:41.490 --> 0:03:46.029
<v Speaker 3>demons with nothing more than his words. He demonstrates his

0:03:46.090 --> 0:03:49.250
<v Speaker 3>powerful command over the forces of nature and the forces

0:03:49.310 --> 0:03:53.570
<v Speaker 3>of evil in this world. As the disciples witnessed his power,

0:03:53.610 --> 0:03:57.950
<v Speaker 3>their wonder and amazement grew, even though their faith remained

0:03:58.070 --> 0:04:02.950
<v Speaker 3>immature and easily shaken. Today, we'll see how the Lord

0:04:03.030 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 3>cares for a long-suffering woman and a dying girl. We

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.660
<v Speaker 3>will once again hear how God's mercy, grace, and healing

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>truly knows no limits and is available to all without

0:04:14.220 --> 0:04:18.870
<v Speaker 3>respect for age, gender, position, or background. So let's hear

0:04:18.910 --> 0:04:20.070
<v Speaker 3>the Word of God today.

0:04:21.410 --> 0:04:23.590
<v Speaker 4>Another crowd flurried around Jesus.

0:04:24.300 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Their desperate cries for more words of wisdom and acts

0:04:27.180 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>of healing were deafening. His popularity had stretched to the

0:04:30.700 --> 0:04:34.930
<v Speaker 2>furthest reaches of Judea and Samaria. Not a traveler passed

0:04:35.029 --> 0:04:38.470
<v Speaker 2>through the land without hearing his name. As Jesus often did,

0:04:38.570 --> 0:04:41.450
<v Speaker 2>he walked beside the sea. He enjoyed the way the

0:04:41.490 --> 0:04:44.490
<v Speaker 2>water and wind amplified his voice for all to hear.

0:04:45.170 --> 0:04:47.350
<v Speaker 2>And if need be, he could make a quick escape

0:04:47.490 --> 0:04:51.420
<v Speaker 2>onto a boat if things got out of hand. Jesus

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.980
<v Speaker 2>was tending to the crowd, teaching them the ways of

0:04:54.020 --> 0:04:56.590
<v Speaker 2>the kingdom. A faint yell could be heard from the

0:04:56.650 --> 0:04:57.409
<v Speaker 2>sea of faces.

0:04:57.950 --> 0:04:59.310
<v Speaker 4>Jesus! he yelled.

0:04:59.990 --> 0:05:03.390
<v Speaker 2>His head was barely poking out of the vast crowd. However,

0:05:03.510 --> 0:05:06.790
<v Speaker 2>Jesus knew his voice. It was the voice of Jairus,

0:05:07.110 --> 0:05:10.330
<v Speaker 2>one of the synagogue rulers. Jesus gestured for him to

0:05:10.380 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>be let through. Jairus fell at his feet, sobbing. It

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>was odd for the people to see a man of

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>such power groveling before anybody. This showed Jesus' true influence.

0:05:21.100 --> 0:05:24.580
<v Speaker 2>Jairus looked up at Jesus and said, Please, Lord, my daughter,

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 2>my little girl, is sick to the point of death.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.580
<v Speaker 2>There is no pain like a parent in fear of

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.950
<v Speaker 2>losing a child. Jesus could feel its palpable presence in Jairus.

0:05:34.890 --> 0:05:38.130
<v Speaker 4>Say no more, Jesus said. Lead on, and I will

0:05:38.150 --> 0:05:38.849
<v Speaker 4>go to your daughter.

0:05:39.750 --> 0:05:41.810
<v Speaker 2>So Jesus got down from the boat where he was

0:05:41.870 --> 0:05:45.169
<v Speaker 2>sitting and stepped into the crowd. They were violently seeking

0:05:45.210 --> 0:05:48.130
<v Speaker 2>his attention. His fame had caused a great deal of

0:05:48.190 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>chaos wherever he went. The crowd grabbed at him and

0:05:51.580 --> 0:05:54.980
<v Speaker 2>shoved him in every direction. His disciples took it upon

0:05:55.020 --> 0:05:57.539
<v Speaker 2>themselves to make a way for Jesus and Jairus to

0:05:57.580 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 2>get through, but it was an exhausting task. As Jesus

0:06:01.660 --> 0:06:03.900
<v Speaker 2>made his way through the forceful crowd, a small and

0:06:03.980 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>quiet presence followed him. Her hand was small and shaking.

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Her once beautifully lush face was gray and fading. A

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>woman followed closely behind Jesus, reaching out to touch him.

0:06:15.620 --> 0:06:19.010
<v Speaker 2>Her entire body trembled as blood slowly dripped down her

0:06:19.070 --> 0:06:22.270
<v Speaker 2>inner thighs. She had had a discharge of blood for

0:06:22.330 --> 0:06:25.670
<v Speaker 2>over twelve years. The seeping blood from her lower half

0:06:25.770 --> 0:06:28.489
<v Speaker 2>caused a great deal of pain and sapped much energy

0:06:28.550 --> 0:06:31.430
<v Speaker 2>from her. Yet worst of all had made her unclean

0:06:31.470 --> 0:06:34.710
<v Speaker 2>in Jewish tradition. She was unable to enter the synagogues

0:06:34.770 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>or temples. She was unable to go to feasts and celebrations.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>She was unable to marry. Her last penny was spent

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.650
<v Speaker 2>on physicians. They could not help her. She was hopeless

0:06:45.910 --> 0:06:49.210
<v Speaker 2>and alone, until she heard about the man named Jesus.

0:06:50.730 --> 0:06:54.229
<v Speaker 2>She could see Jesus, so close yet so far. He

0:06:54.270 --> 0:06:56.570
<v Speaker 2>was only a few feet away, but the violent crowd

0:06:56.620 --> 0:06:59.219
<v Speaker 2>was continually tugging or tossing her to the ground.

0:06:59.940 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 4>She reached for him and missed.

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.860
<v Speaker 2>She tried to call out his name, but the people

0:07:03.900 --> 0:07:06.300
<v Speaker 2>were too loud. She got up to her feet and

0:07:06.339 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>tried to run towards him, but someone pulled her back

0:07:09.180 --> 0:07:12.390
<v Speaker 2>and her face fell into the stony ground. She thought

0:07:12.430 --> 0:07:15.260
<v Speaker 2>of giving up and just remaining on the ground. She

0:07:15.300 --> 0:07:18.020
<v Speaker 2>would be trampled and her miserable life would be ended.

0:07:19.020 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 4>No, she thought to herself.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 2>If I could just touch his garments, I know I

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>will be healed. She lifted herself up and crawled towards Jesus.

0:07:28.020 --> 0:07:30.460
<v Speaker 2>In one last effort, she threw herself towards him and

0:07:30.500 --> 0:07:32.310
<v Speaker 2>barely touched the hem of his garment.

0:07:33.010 --> 0:07:36.369
<v Speaker 4>She fell to her knees. Jesus stopped and turned around.

0:07:37.470 --> 0:07:41.710
<v Speaker 4>Who touched me? he asked his disciples. They laughed. At

0:07:41.750 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 4>first they thought he was joking. Are you serious? they

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:45.260
<v Speaker 4>asked him.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.940
<v Speaker 2>Thousands of people are grabbing at you, and you ask,

0:07:48.060 --> 0:07:52.820
<v Speaker 2>who touched me? Jesus shook his head. No, he clarified,

0:07:53.140 --> 0:07:56.330
<v Speaker 2>this was different. Jesus looked around and saw the woman

0:07:56.370 --> 0:07:58.690
<v Speaker 2>kneeling on the floor, being rammed in the head by

0:07:58.770 --> 0:08:02.350
<v Speaker 2>random people in the crowd. Jesus knelt down and touched

0:08:02.390 --> 0:08:06.690
<v Speaker 2>her shoulders. My daughter, your faith has made you well.

0:08:07.530 --> 0:08:11.030
<v Speaker 2>Go and be free, Jesus said with a warm smile.

0:08:11.930 --> 0:08:13.710
<v Speaker 2>Tears streamed down the woman's face.

0:08:14.030 --> 0:08:18.010
<v Speaker 4>She was speechless. No words could quite thank Jesus properly.

0:08:18.630 --> 0:08:20.170
<v Speaker 4>So she bowed to him and left.

0:08:21.620 --> 0:08:25.460
<v Speaker 2>Please, Lord, we will be too late, Jairus begged. Jesus

0:08:25.500 --> 0:08:29.140
<v Speaker 2>stood to his feet and continued to walk forward. As

0:08:29.180 --> 0:08:31.060
<v Speaker 2>they made their way out of the main streets, the

0:08:31.100 --> 0:08:35.370
<v Speaker 2>crowd began to settle. Only a few people remained, Jesus, Jairus,

0:08:35.830 --> 0:08:39.150
<v Speaker 2>and the twelve disciples. They approached the home and a

0:08:39.190 --> 0:08:40.910
<v Speaker 2>member of Jairus' family ran.

0:08:40.730 --> 0:08:44.530
<v Speaker 4>To them, His face was grim. Dried tears and dirt

0:08:44.630 --> 0:08:45.410
<v Speaker 4>caked his face.

0:08:46.380 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 2>She's gone, he whispered to Jairus. Do not trouble the

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 2>teacher any further. Jesus overheard the two men whispering. He

0:08:54.700 --> 0:08:57.579
<v Speaker 2>interrupted them and said, It is not so, he said.

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Do not be afraid. Believe in me and watch.

0:09:02.300 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Jesus gestured for Peter, James, and John to come with

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>him into the house. In a small courtyard, many people

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.050
<v Speaker 2>were wailing and weeping on the floor. The halls echoed

0:09:12.090 --> 0:09:16.030
<v Speaker 2>with tears and mourning. It was the saddest thing Peter, James,

0:09:16.100 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>or John had ever witnessed. It was clear that the

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.140
<v Speaker 2>little girl meant.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 4>A great deal to them.

0:09:22.540 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Jesus walked up to the women weeping and asked, Why

0:09:25.540 --> 0:09:28.780
<v Speaker 2>is everyone making such a commotion? The child is only sleeping.

0:09:29.500 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>The woman scoffed at him. His words seemed insensitive and

0:09:32.660 --> 0:09:38.380
<v Speaker 2>almost evil. However, behind Jesus' questions were a promise. He

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>took Jairus, his wife, and the three men with him upstairs.

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.580
<v Speaker 2>They entered the door and there lying on the bed

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>was the girl's lifeless body. She could not have been

0:09:47.660 --> 0:09:51.730
<v Speaker 2>more than twelve. Her once rosy cheeks were white. Jesus

0:09:51.750 --> 0:09:54.010
<v Speaker 2>walked over to her body slowly and knelt by the

0:09:54.050 --> 0:09:54.730
<v Speaker 2>side of her bed.

0:09:55.410 --> 0:09:59.030
<v Speaker 4>He held her little hand in his. Jesus' eyes watered

0:09:59.110 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 4>as he held the little girl's. Death was never God's intention.

0:10:04.059 --> 0:10:05.380
<v Speaker 4>He is the author of life.

0:10:06.710 --> 0:10:10.570
<v Speaker 2>Jesus kissed the little girl's hand and said, Talitha kumi,

0:10:11.330 --> 0:10:17.410
<v Speaker 2>which means little girl, arise. The girl's chest began to

0:10:17.470 --> 0:10:21.510
<v Speaker 2>rise steadily up and down. Color was slowly returning to

0:10:21.550 --> 0:10:25.230
<v Speaker 2>her face. Jesus smiled as her beautiful brown eyes opened.

0:10:25.950 --> 0:10:28.410
<v Speaker 2>She sat up, stretched, and yawned as if she had

0:10:28.460 --> 0:10:32.180
<v Speaker 2>awoken from a long nap. Jesus laughed with joy as

0:10:32.220 --> 0:10:35.380
<v Speaker 2>the others in the room awed in amazement. The two

0:10:35.420 --> 0:10:39.060
<v Speaker 2>parents rushed to their daughter's side, kissing her and hugging her.

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.939
<v Speaker 2>Jairus wiped tears from his eyes and looked up at

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.140
<v Speaker 2>Jesus with a face of gratitude. Jesus, Peter, James, and

0:10:46.179 --> 0:10:48.710
<v Speaker 2>John left the room so the family could be together.

0:10:49.580 --> 0:10:51.660
<v Speaker 2>As he left, he turned to one of the servants

0:10:51.700 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 2>and asked for her to bring the little girl some food.

0:10:58.420 --> 0:11:01.580
<v Speaker 3>As we begin today's reading, we find Jesus once again

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.470
<v Speaker 3>surrounded by great crowds of people, each one eager to

0:11:05.510 --> 0:11:08.710
<v Speaker 3>hear his words and perhaps even witness a miraculous sign

0:11:08.870 --> 0:11:12.949
<v Speaker 3>as he heals someone from the crowd. Jesus' renown was

0:11:13.010 --> 0:11:15.390
<v Speaker 3>growing by leaps and bounds as more and more people

0:11:15.429 --> 0:11:18.140
<v Speaker 3>in the region heard what he could do. This was

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.470
<v Speaker 3>certainly an annoyance, even a threat to the religious leaders.

0:11:22.390 --> 0:11:25.150
<v Speaker 3>They wanted Jesus just to go away so they could

0:11:25.190 --> 0:11:28.550
<v Speaker 3>have control and power over the people. Of course, not

0:11:28.670 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 3>all of the religious elite despised Jesus, and today we

0:11:32.179 --> 0:11:35.460
<v Speaker 3>meet one such person, a synagogue ruler by the name

0:11:35.540 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>of Jairus. He had gone out that day to find Jesus.

0:11:39.570 --> 0:11:41.990
<v Speaker 3>Whether out of true respect and belief or just out

0:11:42.030 --> 0:11:44.730
<v Speaker 3>of sheer desperation, we do not know. But the fact

0:11:44.929 --> 0:11:48.270
<v Speaker 3>was that his precious young daughter was in bed at home,

0:11:48.410 --> 0:11:53.610
<v Speaker 3>sick and dying. Sickness and death are really the great equalizers.

0:11:54.410 --> 0:11:57.429
<v Speaker 3>No matter what one's wealth or power or position may

0:11:57.470 --> 0:12:00.970
<v Speaker 3>be in society, when illness or the threat of death comes,

0:12:01.650 --> 0:12:04.530
<v Speaker 3>we are all the same. We are all in a

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.190
<v Speaker 3>helpless state. And so Jairus did what any loving parent

0:12:09.210 --> 0:12:12.390
<v Speaker 3>would do. He sought out every last answer in order

0:12:12.410 --> 0:12:17.270
<v Speaker 3>to try to save his child. Jesus was seemingly his

0:12:17.330 --> 0:12:20.230
<v Speaker 3>last hope. So when he found him that day, he

0:12:20.330 --> 0:12:24.130
<v Speaker 3>pleaded with Jesus, not from a position of authority, but

0:12:24.330 --> 0:12:28.340
<v Speaker 3>one of deep and desperate need of help. Jesus immediately

0:12:28.410 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 3>stopped what he was doing and went with Jairus. It

0:12:31.500 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 3>is a reminder that so often in life, the interruptions

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.490
<v Speaker 3>are in fact an opportunity to for ministry. As Jairus

0:12:38.570 --> 0:12:41.350
<v Speaker 3>led him and they pushed through the crowd, suddenly Jesus

0:12:41.390 --> 0:12:45.730
<v Speaker 3>stopped and asked an unusual question. Who touched me? To

0:12:45.790 --> 0:12:49.569
<v Speaker 3>all around, it seemed to be a ridiculous question. There

0:12:49.610 --> 0:12:52.970
<v Speaker 3>were people everywhere. He was being touched all the time.

0:12:53.490 --> 0:12:57.070
<v Speaker 3>But Jesus had felt something different. Power had gone out

0:12:57.110 --> 0:13:00.650
<v Speaker 3>from him in that moment. And so a woman confessed

0:13:00.670 --> 0:13:04.010
<v Speaker 3>to touching him. hoping that even just a brush against

0:13:04.050 --> 0:13:06.929
<v Speaker 3>the hem of his garment would heal her disease, a

0:13:06.970 --> 0:13:10.390
<v Speaker 3>lifelong problem with bleeding which made her unclean and unhealthy.

0:13:11.250 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 3>This tragic condition had left her destitute and alone, unable

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.319
<v Speaker 3>to even enter the temple of worship to worship God

0:13:18.700 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 3>or to celebrate with her people. Jesus looked at her

0:13:22.179 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 3>with kindness and grace and told her to go home

0:13:25.230 --> 0:13:28.569
<v Speaker 3>in peace and fully healed her because of her faith.

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.980
<v Speaker 3>This is a great moment in Scripture which shows us

0:13:32.059 --> 0:13:35.500
<v Speaker 3>not only our Lord's caring heart and immense power, but

0:13:35.540 --> 0:13:37.940
<v Speaker 3>His ability to know when we cry out to Him.

0:13:38.860 --> 0:13:41.690
<v Speaker 3>It also shows us that Jesus had both full control

0:13:41.750 --> 0:13:45.429
<v Speaker 3>and full awareness of His power. Not everyone who touched

0:13:45.470 --> 0:13:48.150
<v Speaker 3>Him was healed, though certainly some in the crowd had

0:13:48.270 --> 0:13:51.330
<v Speaker 3>ailments that Jesus could have healed. But when this woman

0:13:51.370 --> 0:13:55.100
<v Speaker 3>approached Him with such faith and touched Him, Jesus allowed

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.910
<v Speaker 3>healing power to depart from His body and to meet

0:13:57.950 --> 0:14:01.260
<v Speaker 3>her deep need of healing and restoration. It wasn't by

0:14:01.340 --> 0:14:04.660
<v Speaker 3>her might or her actions or even her touch that

0:14:04.700 --> 0:14:07.980
<v Speaker 3>she was healed, but by faith and power in Christ.

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.500
<v Speaker 3>While he was still with the crowd, someone came to

0:14:11.580 --> 0:14:15.410
<v Speaker 3>inform Jairus that his daughter had passed away. There was

0:14:15.470 --> 0:14:17.990
<v Speaker 3>no need, it seemed, for Jesus to proceed to his

0:14:18.030 --> 0:14:21.450
<v Speaker 3>home because nothing could be done. But as we know,

0:14:21.590 --> 0:14:25.690
<v Speaker 3>what is impossible for man is possible with God. I

0:14:25.750 --> 0:14:30.430
<v Speaker 3>love how Jesus responds in Mark 5, 36. But overhearing

0:14:30.490 --> 0:14:34.010
<v Speaker 3>what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue,

0:14:34.370 --> 0:14:38.690
<v Speaker 3>Do not fear, only believe. Oh, that we could live

0:14:38.730 --> 0:14:44.390
<v Speaker 3>by those words. Do not fear, only believe. Jesus continued

0:14:44.690 --> 0:14:47.050
<v Speaker 3>on to the home of Jairus, taking only his three

0:14:47.110 --> 0:14:51.890
<v Speaker 3>closest disciples, Peter, James, and John. They arrived to quite

0:14:51.930 --> 0:14:55.860
<v Speaker 3>a scene. mourners already wailing and making a commotion outside

0:14:55.900 --> 0:14:59.740
<v Speaker 3>the home. He spoke calmly to them, assuring them that

0:14:59.780 --> 0:15:03.620
<v Speaker 3>the girl was not dead, only sleeping. But nobody believed,

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.300
<v Speaker 3>and they laughed at his words. Jesus then entered the

0:15:07.340 --> 0:15:10.740
<v Speaker 3>home with his three disciples and the girl's parents. And

0:15:10.820 --> 0:15:13.740
<v Speaker 3>going to her bedside, he took her hand and spoke

0:15:14.060 --> 0:15:19.420
<v Speaker 3>tenderly over her. Arise, little girl. And at his command,

0:15:19.970 --> 0:15:23.450
<v Speaker 3>she shook off the chains of death and rose, fully

0:15:23.510 --> 0:15:27.210
<v Speaker 3>recovered and restored into the arms of her joyous parents.

0:15:29.090 --> 0:15:32.910
<v Speaker 3>Jesus is still speaking words to God's children today, through

0:15:32.930 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the Bible, by his Spirit, calling us who are spiritually

0:15:36.820 --> 0:15:40.380
<v Speaker 3>dead to rise to a new life that only he offers,

0:15:40.820 --> 0:15:44.180
<v Speaker 3>the one who is the resurrection and the life. This

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.300
<v Speaker 3>is the message, the glorious, gracious message of the good news,

0:15:48.380 --> 0:15:51.630
<v Speaker 3>the gospel. The God who healed the sick and raised

0:15:51.670 --> 0:15:54.460
<v Speaker 3>the dead, is able to heal and give life to

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 3>all who will call upon his name. The Bible says,

0:15:58.260 --> 0:16:02.780
<v Speaker 3>whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Lord,

0:16:02.820 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 3>we call upon your name, and we trust you as

0:16:05.940 --> 0:16:09.380
<v Speaker 3>our Lord and Savior. May we follow you all the

0:16:09.420 --> 0:16:12.570
<v Speaker 3>days of our lives, and may our hearts always be

0:16:12.610 --> 0:16:15.830
<v Speaker 3>devoted to you. Thank you for your restoration and healing

0:16:15.890 --> 0:16:21.050
<v Speaker 3>in our lives and the forgiveness of our sins. In Jesus' name, amen.
