Mark 5:21-34
“The contrast between these two needy people is striking and reveals the wideness of Christ’s love and mercy.
Jairus was an important synagogue officer, and the woman was an anonymous “nobody”; yet Jesus welcomed and helped both of them.
Jairus was about to lose a daughter who had given him twelve years of happiness (Mark 5:42), and the woman was about to lose an affliction that had brought her twelve years of sorrow.
Being a synagogue officer, Jairus was no doubt wealthy; but his wealth could not save his dying daughter.
The woman was already bankrupt!
She had given the doctors all of her money, and yet none of them could cure her.
Both Jairus and the poor woman found the answers to their needs at the feet of Jesus (Mark 5:22 and 33).”
Woman carried the emotional pressure and Pain.
Poverty had stricken her from trying to pay for help from doctors.
Also, according to the law, she was ceremonially unclean, which greatly restricted both of her religious and social life (Lev.
15:19)
HOWEVER: Nothing was going to stand in her way as she pushed through the crowd to get to Jesus.
No doubts, no excuses.
What kind of faith did she have?
Was it timid?
Perhaps somewhat superstitious?
“There is a good lesson here for all of us.
Not everybody has the same degree of faith, but Jesus responds to faith no matter how feeble it might be.
When we believe, He shares His power with us and something happens in our lives.
There were many others in that crowd who were close to Jesus and even pressing against Him, but they experienced no miracles.
Why?
Because they did not have faith.
It is one thing to throng Him and quite something else to trust Him.”
Why did Jesus deal with her publicly?
He wanted to be to her something more than a healer, He wanted to be her Savior and friend.
/ By this, she expereinced more than just a physical healing.
Also, for the sake of Jairus.
His daughter was close to death, and he needed all the encouragement her could get.
But when the servant comes up to let him know his daughter had died, these words to the woman about faith and peace must have encouraged and given hope to this father.
Jesus also dealt with her publicly, so that she might have the opportunity to share her testimony and glorify the Lord.
Mark 5:35-43
-It would not have been easy for Jairus to come to Jesus.
Religious leaders were opposed to Jesus and would not have approved.
BUT, he would rather lose his friends than lose his beloved daughter.
It is beautiful to read about Jesus leading Jairus through this time.
The Lord’s Word’s made a hug difference.
THE WORD OF FAITH (v.
36)
“Do not fear, only believe.”
In other words, “You had a certain amount of faith when you came to Me, and your faith was helped when you saw what I did for that woman.
Don’t quit!
Keep on believing!”
It was easier for Jairus to trust the Lord while his daughter was still alive, and while Jesus was still walking with him to his house.
But when Jesus stopped to heal the woman, and when the friend came with the bad news, Jairus just about lost his faith.
Let’s not be too hard on him.
We have probably given way to doubts when circumstances and feelings have overwhelmed us.
Sometimes God has delayed and we have wondered why.
That is when we need that special “word of faith” from the Lord, and we receive it as we spend time in His Word.
THE WORD OF HOPE (v.
39)
“Why are you making a commotion and weeping?
The child is not dead but sleeping.”
When Jesus and Jairus arrived at the house, they saw and heard the professional Jewish mourners who were always summoned when a death occurred.
It was traditional for them to wail loudly, to weep, and to lead the family and friends in lamentation.
The presence of the mourners in the home is proof that the girl was actually dead, for the family would not have called them if there had been even the slightest hope that the girl was still alive.
To the believer, death is only sleep; for the body rests until the moment of resurrection (1 Thes.
4:13–18).
The spirit does not sleep; for in death, the spirit of the believer leaves the body (James 2:26) and goes to be with Christ (Phil.
1:20–23).
It is the body that sleeps, awaiting the return of the Lord and the resurrection (1 Cor.
15:51–58).
This truth is a great encouragement to all of us who have had Christian loved ones and friends depart in death.
It is His word of hope to us.
THE WORD OF LOVE & POWER (v.
41)
“Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”’
Yes, God’s Servant is the conqueror over danger, demons, disease, and death.
This series of miracles illustrates how Jesus met and helped all kinds of people, from His own disciples to a pair of demoniacs; and it assures us that He is able to help us today.
This does not mean that God always must rescue His people from danger (see Acts 12) or heal every affliction (see 2 Cor.
12:1–10); but it does mean that He holds the ultimate authority and that we need never fear.
We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom.
8:37).
