Mark 5.21-24
4 Pictures of Hopeless stories - Christ Brings Hope to the Most extreme Hopeless situations.
Disciples in the Storm - Why are you so fearful, How is it that you have no faith?
Demoniac on Shore - Power of darkness, and NOBODY is to far beyond the saving grace of Jesus.
Woman with Disease - A picture of faith in action.
She acted upon what she had heard about Jesus.
Leader with a sick child - A lesson on God’s timing & experiencing the POWER of Jesus.
We will dig into the text here in a moment… A man comes to Jesus on behalf of his sick child KNOWING that Jesus had the ability to heal her.
-But-
There is a delay… Jesus seemingly gets distracted and he gets word that its to late.
Hope was gone… It was to late… This is more than difficult circumstances, this was more than the presence of evil… This was more than a debilitating sickness.
This was DEATH...
Death used to have the last word, THAT IS until it is introduced to Jesus.
PHRASE THAT JUMPED OUT - Do not fear, Only Believe
Jesus Returns to the place and was greeted with grief and ridicule.
With 1 Sentence… He plunders the grave and robs death of its victim.
The Story of Lazurus - He was late (if only Jesus would have been there)
The Story of the Crucifixion - Agony, Darkness, Mockery
The Hope of the Reserection - Death could not hold Him, Death has no dominion.
The Essence of the Gospel…
God brings dead things to life...
I think that gives us reason to pause, reflect, and enter into worship.
Dont focus on situations, circumstances, problems, worries.
Focus on Him and the truth that there is never a hopeless situation.
BEGINNING
I’ve made a discovery that i think that you can relate to.
It’s easy to have faith, (experience joy) when things are going well.
-but-
What about the other 364 days of the year.
Many make the mistake of buying into the lie that following Jesus will be easy.
Count the cost...
Die to yourself...
Take up your cross....
The christian walk is IMPOSSIBLE without Christ & Yet so many people are trying to walk alone.
God is seeking for your depend on Him.
When difficulties arise, where do you turn?
Take a look at our text.
/ 5-42
Point a few things to strengthen your walk with Him.
The Approach
Check your ego at the door - God isn't interested in title’s or prestige.
Humble Yourself in His presence.
Humble Yourself in His presence.
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
The Ask
Contrast - Other focused vs self focused
Mark 10.35
Desperation & Faith
God Desires for His children to come to him.
Did you know essentially thats what prayer is all about?
Confessing your dependance.
Maybe our prayer life is weak and lacking because we have far to much confidence in our self and a very weak view of what God is able to do.
The Hope
Don’t you love an answered request?
Joy overwhelmed Jarius.
Where was his daughter?
Sick and near death BUT here comes Jesus.
It’s going to be a happy ending… Just as Jarius imagined
- Until -
The Delay
Mark 5
Can you see Jarius?
Joy - anticipation - frustation - worry
The hardest part of truly depending on God is truly trusting His timing.
It’s in the delay that we learn to lean into Him even further.
To let the wait FUEL our faith not deplete it.
I often forget that God is at work, not only working out the details but also working in me.
Developing perserverance, charecter, hope.
Some of the greatest testimony come from a delay.
The Bad News
Mark 5.35
His greatest fear is now a reality.
Desperation - Jubilation - Brokenness
You gotta know,
The Challenge
Jesus not only heard the word, but saw the coutenance & offered hope.
Jarius was no trouble to Jesus, it was for moments like this that Jesus came.
Hope is available in the darkest moments of life.
The Application - Fight the Battle
Do not be afraid; only Believe (vs.
36)
Such a Jesus thing to say...
Jarius had a decision to make - To accept reality or to continue to trust Jesus
Jarius had a decision to make - To accept reality or to continue to trust Jesus
What had brought Him to Jesus?
Faith and Hope
Keep believing, Keep trusting - I’m not done yet
We know what Jesus is capable of & we also know there a bigger picture.
Sometimes we expereince the miracle and sometimes we just gotta keep believing even when it doesnt make since.
The Application - Expect Opposition
“The Child is not dead, but sleeping.”
And they ridiculed Him.
(vs.
39-40)
The Application - Watch Jesus Work
“Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
Immediately the girl arose and walked.
(Vs.41-42)
mark 5.
Every step was a battle - Reality was screaming but Jesus presence was reasssuring.
We have His presence, We have his promise
What do you think this did for Jairus?
