Mark 5:21 – They head back across and I wonder – did Jesus cross there simply to meet that demon possessed man?
\nMark 5:28 – This woman’s faith is remarkable. She simply heard about Jesus and deduced that he was powerful enough that a single touch, not of the man himself, but of his clothing, would heal her.
\nAnd she was right.
\nJesus never taught that, never even hinted at that. She figured it out and went for it in faith.
\nWhat an amazing lesson for us. We who are immersed in Jesus culture, hear the lessons preached, the parables explained, the teachings enumerated. We who know Jesus inside and out and have access to all his teachings and volumes upon volumes of commentary on them.
\nYet we sit in our own sin, wondering how we can be cured?
\nThis ticks me off, frankly, on a personal level for I wallow and wring my hands over my own sin. This woman was really suffering, bleeding and bleeding and bleeding and bleeding and bleeding. No one had been able to help her and many smart men had tried. If anyone had reason to be skeptical and doubt, she did. But she saw Jesus and believed. It was that simple. She didn’t require anything of him but access.
\nHere we sit – here I sit – with all the access in the world. I know that Jesus is readily available. I know that I can reach out and touch him today, right now. I understand it all, what I lack is faith. I can see Jesus. Jesus the healer, the restorer, the savior. I can see him, but he’s not real enough to me. I can see him, but I guess I don’t believe my eyes and I explain it away.
\nI’m tired of being the same yet proclaiming Jesus. I can see enough of Him to know that there’s something wrong with that picture. Folks who see him, really see Him, don’t stay the same. They are healed, transformed, changed.
\nIf I see Jesus, am I willing to believe in what I see?<\/p>\n

And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.<\/p>\n

Mark 5:34<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mark 5:35-43 – I find great hope in the story of Jairus, especially reflecting on the bleeding woman’s story which is wedged in the middle of it. They both came in faith, but before he could get what he came for, Jairus is hit with reality. Jairus was faced with the obvious facts. The servants say she’s dead, they arrive to weeping and wailing, the people laugh at them when Jesus says she’s only asleep. If I’m Jairus, it would take all my energy and focus to remain faithful in the face of all that reality.
\nBut Jesus told him, “Do not fear, only believe.” And somehow he does.
\nAnd in they go, and there’s his daughter, dead. A few words from Jesus and she’s alive and walking.
\nEveryday, all around us we are confronted with reasons not to believe that Jesus can change us. Even religious folk will try to diminish you expectations, ground you in reality. Jesus, however, puts his hands on our cheeks, turns our head toward his face and away from ‘reality’ and says just what he said to Jairus:
\n“Do not fear, only believe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
