Joel and Mary Nadel, Covenant Church
From J.C. Ryle’s “Expository Comments on the Gospels - Mark”
House Rules: Phones, Respect, Stay on the Text
Prayer
Mark 5:21-34 (Follow in your Bibles)
Introduction and Review:
The beginning of Jesus Ministry
The Gospel message
His healing and teaching ministries
Building the kingdom of God - soils, the Lord’s crop, The parable of the mustard seed
Faithbuilding exercises
The storm at Galilee - Jesus controlled the weather
Casting out demons
Today:
The beginning of two miracles, that are intertwined
The daughter of Jairus (ruler of the synagogue) starts
Then Jesus encounters the woman with a bleeding condition - this will be or focus today - next week we will see how he cares for the daughter of Jairus
Today - the miraculous healing of a sick woman
Our Lord has great experience with disease and illnesses
He cares greatly for those who are sick and suffering
Heathen Gods
terrible/mighty in battle
love bloodshed
help the strong and the warriors
The Christian saviour is gentle, easily approached, helps and heals the broken hearted, protects the weak and helpless, comforts those in trouble, comforts the sick
perfect for our weak and fallen human nature
world is full of pain and trouble
Many more weak in the earth, than strong (in fact all of us have weaknesses…)
Mark 5:25-26
Sin brought misery into the world
Woman suffered 12 years
suffered from medical help, spent her money on worthless treatment
Nothing helped - 12 years is a long time
Prov 13:12
Amazing that we do not hate sin more than we do!
causes all pain/disease in the world
God did not create us to suffer
Sin is responsible for the suffering
sicknesses
pains and suffering
We need to hate sin
People have different feelings when they face Christ
Many people followed the Lord and thronged Him
Only one pushed through, touched Him with faith, and was healed
Many followed from curiosity - got no blessing
Only one sensed her own need, Jesus power, reached out, and got blessed
Isn’t this the case with so many Christians today?
Go to church/places of worship
Participate in the Lord’s table - take the bread and wine
So many go, but So few get anything from Christ
Why are they there?
Fashion, tradition, habit, love of excitement, hear the gossip - true motives
Few reach out to Christ - go home in peace
hard sayings
Mark 5:27-29
She was cured immediately!
Touched the Lord’s clothes and healed
What she had been seeking 12 years - done!
What doctors could not do, He Lord did in an instant
“she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.”
Symbol of the relief the Gospel gives us
Christians have experienced this relief in our consciences
Many have searched for peace with God - no effect
Earthly remedies don’t work
Trying different religions, different churches, doesn’t work
Trying to work our way to heaven - futile
Only gets worse
As Christians we finally find rest - the same place this woman did - Jesus
Mark 5:30-33
Christians do well to tell how they have been blessed by Christ
Jesus did not let the woman leave, after she had been cured, without her cure being noticed
Turned around and asked “who touched my garments?”
Already knew her story -didnt need her to tell Him
Needed to teach her, and others, that when blessed, they should publicly tell others
Lesson for all Christians: we should not be ashamed of what Christ has done for us
If He has blessed us, given us peace through His blood, been renewed by His Spirit, we must not be afraid to say so, when we can
No need to “blow a trumpet in the streets” - force our experience on others
We do need to be willing to publicly praise Christ, and not worry about ridicule or persecution
If we are ashamed of Jesus before men, one day He will be ashamed of us before the Father and angels
Mark 5:34
Faith is a real grace, and blessing
Of all the graces and blessings, faith is the most mentioned in the NT and commended
Faith brings more glory to Christ than any other grace
Hope - good things to come
Love - warm heart
Faith - an empty hand, but receives everything, gives nothing in return - no grace so important to a Christian’s soul
By faith
we begin, we live, we stand
walk by faith, not by sight
overcome
have peace
enter into rest
Ask ourselves: do we believe? is my faith true?, the gift of God?
Bringing it home.
Should not rest until we can give a good answer to these questions
Christ is the same now, as when He healed this woman
He is still gracious and mighty to save
Only one thing we need to be saved - the hand of faith
Let a man or woman only “touch” Jesus, and they will be made complete
