Healing = Miraculous events that result in the curing of injury, disease, or disability.
Bleeding
Mt 9:20–22, Mk 5:25–34, and Lk 8:43–48 describe a healing miracle.
· This miracle was performed by Jesus and was received by a hemorrhaging woman and involved these objects: clothing and fringe.
Other things that are mentioned include blood.
· Tags: Hemorrhage, Physical Contact
• Jesus Heals a Bleeding Woman
• Jesus Healing the Bleeding Woman (Wikipedia)
• Raising of Jairus' Daughter (Wikipedia)
Background – Jairus’ daughter also needed healing
Before meeting this woman:
Jesus was – eating, associating, and debating
· eating dinner at Matthew’s house –
· associating with tax collectors and other sinners
· debating with the Pharisees
· When Jairus, who was the ruler of a synagogue in Galilee, (Jesus’ hometown) interrupted Jesus’ dinner and begged the Lord to come and heal his daughter, who was on her deathbed.
Life Lesson: Always be ready to do the Lord’s work – even when you think you are done!
(Jesus just sat down to dinner after performing several other miracles and calling Matthew)
· Jesus agreed!
(HE ALWAYS DOES) Jesus never says NO to healing.
· And left Matthew’s house to go to Jairus’ house.
· A large crowd pressed into Jesus while He followed Jairus home.
· Jesus’s trip was interrupted by someone else who also needed a healing.
· A grown woman who had been hemorrhaging blood for 12 years.
Men may fail – but Jesus always heals!
God Heals All
Compare and contrast
Compare – both had needs
· Bother were desperate, had huge needs
· Helpless but hopeful – Both knew Jesus was their only hope, human aid was insufficient, they were helpless
· Neither would accept their current condition
· Both took radical actions – made spectacles of themselves –
· he interrupted a stranger’s dinner, and she interrupted the Lord’s journey
– sometimes faith needs to be radical!
· Both humbled themselves and fell before Jesus
· Both recognized the power of the healing touch
Contrast – exact opposites
· He is named, she is not
· Opposite ends of society – distinguished ruler vs an outcast
· Father vs no family
· He had a home, she was probably homeless (spent all she had)
· Influential vs outcast
· rich vs poor
· he asked verbally, she touched without permission
· he was clean, she was unclean
· he was allowed in society, she was to remain outside
CONCLUSION – Jesus heals ALL! Regardless of status or condition or cause of sickness
Jesus STOPPED!
Faith stops Jesus in His tracks!
Flesh touches the natural, faith touches the Spirit!
Why?
To condemn for breaking the Law of Moses?
Or to congratulate for radical faith?
I wonder if the Lord is still looking around in these last days for people who have radical faith.
· Could hide no more – time to testify!
· What did she do?
o Yes, she broke the customs of the day, she risked spreading her disease to others,
o but that she also dared to believe God, in spite of her circumstances..
Faith has the power to heal.
· You don’t have to wait for someone to come to town to heal you.
· You can be healed right now right where you are.
12 years = Girl’s mother?
· don’t read into things
· Bible mentions Jairus’s wife in the house
· Woman was sent away
