  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.336
  • Pastor jeff schreve: sickness, it's something we can all relate
  • 00:00:05.442 --> 00:00:07.744
  • To whether it's emotional, physical, or spiritual.
  • 00:00:07.877 --> 00:00:11.948
  • We all have a need for healing.
  • 00:00:12.048 --> 00:00:12.582
  • The truth is, no matter how you feel or what you're going
  • 00:00:14.751 --> 00:00:18.021
  • Through, you're never forgotten or unseen by our
  • 00:00:18.021 --> 00:00:21.057
  • Heavenly father.
  • 00:00:21.057 --> 00:00:22.425
  • Now in today's message, we'll be in mark chapter 5 as we look at
  • 00:00:22.425 --> 00:00:26.062
  • Jesus and the unclean woman with the issue of blood.
  • 00:00:26.062 --> 00:00:29.766
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:29.766 --> 00:00:55.558
  • Jeff: we can all relate to sickness and needing the lord to
  • 00:00:59.696 --> 00:01:07.036
  • Heal us.
  • 00:01:07.036 --> 00:01:08.905
  • Whether it's physical sickness or emotional sickness or
  • 00:01:08.905 --> 00:01:13.309
  • Spiritual sickness we can relate to that.
  • 00:01:13.309 --> 00:01:15.411
  • So, we wanna look today at this story jesus and the unclean
  • 00:01:15.411 --> 00:01:20.617
  • Woman, the woman with the issue of blood, and see how it
  • 00:01:20.617 --> 00:01:25.622
  • Intersects so much with your life and my life.
  • 00:01:25.622 --> 00:01:29.425
  • Mark chapter 5 beginning in verse 21, "when jesus had
  • 00:01:29.425 --> 00:01:32.529
  • Crossed over again in the boat to the other side," so he went
  • 00:01:32.529 --> 00:01:36.566
  • From gadara.
  • 00:01:36.566 --> 00:01:37.967
  • He went to the other side back to capernaum and cut across the
  • 00:01:37.967 --> 00:01:42.172
  • Sea of galilee, the upper part of the sea of galilee.
  • 00:01:42.172 --> 00:01:45.375
  • "a large crowd gathered around him; and so he stayed by
  • 00:01:45.375 --> 00:01:50.246
  • The seashore.
  • 00:01:50.246 --> 00:01:51.614
  • One of the synagogue officials named jairus came up, and on
  • 00:01:51.614 --> 00:01:55.185
  • Seeing him, fell at his feet and implored him earnestly, saying,
  • 00:01:55.185 --> 00:01:58.922
  • 'my little daughter is at the point of death; please come and
  • 00:01:58.922 --> 00:02:03.226
  • Lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.'
  • 00:02:03.226 --> 00:02:07.463
  • And he went off with him; and a large crowd was following him
  • 00:02:07.463 --> 00:02:11.201
  • And pressing in on him.
  • 00:02:11.201 --> 00:02:14.470
  • A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had
  • 00:02:14.470 --> 00:02:21.544
  • Endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent
  • 00:02:21.544 --> 00:02:25.148
  • All that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had
  • 00:02:25.148 --> 00:02:28.484
  • Grown worse.
  • 00:02:28.484 --> 00:02:29.886
  • After hearing about jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him
  • 00:02:29.886 --> 00:02:34.157
  • And touched his cloak.
  • 00:02:34.157 --> 00:02:35.758
  • For she thought, 'if i just touch his garments, i will
  • 00:02:35.758 --> 00:02:40.129
  • Get well.'
  • 00:02:40.129 --> 00:02:41.764
  • Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt
  • 00:02:41.764 --> 00:02:46.769
  • In her body that she was healed of her affliction."
  • 00:02:46.769 --> 00:02:53.209
  • Can you relate to this woman?
  • 00:02:53.209 --> 00:02:56.479
  • I want you to notice with me three discoveries about this
  • 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.582
  • Woman and see how it intersects your life and mine.
  • 00:02:59.582 --> 00:03:03.286
  • First discovery, she had a serious problem.
  • 00:03:03.286 --> 00:03:06.089
  • Serious, serious problem.
  • 00:03:06.089 --> 00:03:08.725
  • She's the woman with the issue of blood.
  • 00:03:08.725 --> 00:03:13.263
  • Now, when a woman would have that issue, she would every
  • 00:03:13.263 --> 00:03:19.902
  • Month, and the bible talks about the purification process for
  • 00:03:19.902 --> 00:03:25.141
  • A woman that had that.
  • 00:03:25.141 --> 00:03:26.809
  • And that was i mean common.
  • 00:03:26.809 --> 00:03:29.279
  • Every woman had that.
  • 00:03:29.279 --> 00:03:31.080
  • It was of age and--but her situation wasn't a once
  • 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.585
  • A month deal.
  • 00:03:35.585 --> 00:03:36.919
  • It was every day.
  • 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.155
  • She was a woman that couldn't stop bleeding.
  • 00:03:39.155 --> 00:03:43.092
  • And the bible says in leviticus chapter 15, begin in verse 25,
  • 00:03:43.092 --> 00:03:48.031
  • "now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at
  • 00:03:48.031 --> 00:03:52.201
  • The period of a menstrual impurity, or if she has a
  • 00:03:52.201 --> 00:03:54.704
  • Discharge beyond that period, all the days of her impure
  • 00:03:54.704 --> 00:03:58.508
  • Discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual
  • 00:03:58.508 --> 00:04:02.245
  • Impurity; she is unclean."
  • 00:04:02.245 --> 00:04:07.116
  • She's been unclean for 12 years.
  • 00:04:07.116 --> 00:04:11.387
  • She has been unclean for 624 weeks.
  • 00:04:11.387 --> 00:04:17.727
  • She has been unclean from the time that jairus's daughter
  • 00:04:17.727 --> 00:04:21.531
  • Was born.
  • 00:04:21.531 --> 00:04:23.333
  • She's been unclean from the time that jesus turned 20 years old.
  • 00:04:23.333 --> 00:04:29.672
  • I mean, it is unbelievable to think about what she had
  • 00:04:29.672 --> 00:04:36.746
  • Gone through.
  • 00:04:36.746 --> 00:04:38.114
  • She had a serious problem and she was suffering.
  • 00:04:38.114 --> 00:04:41.217
  • First of all, she was suffering physically.
  • 00:04:41.217 --> 00:04:44.087
  • You can't lose blood on a regular basis without it
  • 00:04:44.087 --> 00:04:48.725
  • Affecting you.
  • 00:04:48.725 --> 00:04:50.560
  • And she was physically sick.
  • 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.497
  • She was no doubt anemic.
  • 00:04:54.497 --> 00:04:56.466
  • She was fatigued.
  • 00:04:56.466 --> 00:04:57.834
  • She was worn out physically.
  • 00:04:57.834 --> 00:04:59.402
  • It says that, "she endured much at the hands of
  • 00:04:59.402 --> 00:05:03.406
  • Many physicians."
  • 00:05:03.406 --> 00:05:04.774
  • Literally she suffered much at the hands of these physicians.
  • 00:05:04.774 --> 00:05:09.112
  • Who knows what they did to her trying to fix her problem, but
  • 00:05:09.112 --> 00:05:14.584
  • It--she had grown worse.
  • 00:05:14.584 --> 00:05:17.120
  • They didn't fix her problem at all.
  • 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.088
  • Luke says her problem was incurable.
  • 00:05:19.088 --> 00:05:22.925
  • So, she was suffering physically.
  • 00:05:22.925 --> 00:05:24.394
  • She was suffering secondly emotionally because this is the
  • 00:05:24.394 --> 00:05:29.132
  • Kind of thing that is just a horrible thing for a woman
  • 00:05:29.132 --> 00:05:33.503
  • To have.
  • 00:05:33.503 --> 00:05:34.871
  • Maybe horrible to have it today.
  • 00:05:34.871 --> 00:05:36.839
  • Can you imagine having that kind of problem in the first century
  • 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.910
  • Where hygiene wasn't all that great and here she is and she is
  • 00:05:40.910 --> 00:05:46.716
  • Constantly unclean, unclean, unclean, unclean.
  • 00:05:46.716 --> 00:05:50.553
  • Hey, when you're unclean, you can't go to the temple.
  • 00:05:50.553 --> 00:05:54.157
  • You can't go to the synagogue.
  • 00:05:54.157 --> 00:05:55.792
  • She hadn't been in church in 12 years.
  • 00:05:55.792 --> 00:05:59.095
  • She couldn't.
  • 00:05:59.095 --> 00:06:00.430
  • She had to back off of everyone else.
  • 00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:02.765
  • She was isolated and suffering the embarrassment of this issue,
  • 00:06:02.765 --> 00:06:12.909
  • Trying so hard to get it repaired, but none of the
  • 00:06:12.975 --> 00:06:16.112
  • Doctors could help her.
  • 00:06:16.112 --> 00:06:17.680
  • She was suffering physically, she was suffering emotionally,
  • 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.183
  • She was suffering financially.
  • 00:06:20.183 --> 00:06:22.618
  • Because it says that she had spent all her money.
  • 00:06:22.618 --> 00:06:25.321
  • "she endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had
  • 00:06:25.321 --> 00:06:27.523
  • Spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather
  • 00:06:27.523 --> 00:06:31.494
  • Had grown worse."
  • 00:06:31.494 --> 00:06:33.429
  • Well, i mean that is just horrible.
  • 00:06:33.429 --> 00:06:36.265
  • You know, if you spend a bunch of money at the doctors,
  • 00:06:36.265 --> 00:06:39.635
  • You hope to get better.
  • 00:06:39.635 --> 00:06:41.404
  • And if you've been doing this doctor after doctor after doctor
  • 00:06:41.404 --> 00:06:45.107
  • After doctor and all you do is get worse.
  • 00:06:45.107 --> 00:06:49.946
  • That's just very, very painful.
  • 00:06:49.946 --> 00:06:53.783
  • Proverbs 13:12 says this, "when hope is crushed, the heart is
  • 00:06:53.783 --> 00:06:58.488
  • Crushed, but a wish come true fills you with joy."
  • 00:06:58.488 --> 00:07:02.825
  • She was crushed financially, physically, emotionally and
  • 00:07:02.825 --> 00:07:08.664
  • Then spiritually.
  • 00:07:08.664 --> 00:07:10.233
  • She was struggling and suffering spiritually.
  • 00:07:10.233 --> 00:07:12.835
  • Why do i say that?
  • 00:07:12.835 --> 00:07:14.804
  • It's because no doubt she felt abandoned by god.
  • 00:07:14.804 --> 00:07:19.709
  • I think about all the time she cried out to god to heal her.
  • 00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:24.413
  • Think about all the times she prayed about going to the next
  • 00:07:24.413 --> 00:07:27.283
  • Doctor and doing whatever he prescribed and some of those
  • 00:07:27.283 --> 00:07:30.453
  • Things were painful.
  • 00:07:30.453 --> 00:07:32.522
  • Some of those procedures, not only were they embarrassing and
  • 00:07:32.522 --> 00:07:36.259
  • Not only were they shameful, but they were painful.
  • 00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:40.396
  • And she had to do that and, "lord, maybe now is the time
  • 00:07:40.396 --> 00:07:43.933
  • That you're gonna heal me from this."
  • 00:07:43.933 --> 00:07:45.668
  • And no, he didn't for 12 years.
  • 00:07:45.668 --> 00:07:50.773
  • 624 weeks.
  • 00:07:50.773 --> 00:07:53.743
  • No doubt the verse came through her mind.
  • 00:07:53.743 --> 00:07:57.346
  • Job 2:9, "curse god and die."
  • 00:07:57.346 --> 00:08:01.417
  • God has abandoned you.
  • 00:08:01.417 --> 00:08:02.785
  • God doesn't care about you.
  • 00:08:02.785 --> 00:08:04.887
  • You're an outcast.
  • 00:08:04.887 --> 00:08:07.490
  • He's forgotten about you.
  • 00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:09.458
  • All those things would come into a person's mind.
  • 00:08:09.458 --> 00:08:14.430
  • No doubt they came into her mind.
  • 00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:16.832
  • She had a serious problem.
  • 00:08:16.832 --> 00:08:18.200
  • Hey, can you relate to a serious problem?
  • 00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:21.037
  • You know, when we're suffering physically, it's difficult.
  • 00:08:21.037 --> 00:08:24.373
  • When we're suffering emotionally, when you're
  • 00:08:24.373 --> 00:08:26.475
  • Suffering with a broken heart.
  • 00:08:26.475 --> 00:08:29.011
  • You know, i think about with family.
  • 00:08:29.011 --> 00:08:31.914
  • I heard years ago this statement.
  • 00:08:31.914 --> 00:08:34.016
  • It is so true.
  • 00:08:34.016 --> 00:08:35.384
  • "there is no pain like family pain."
  • 00:08:35.384 --> 00:08:39.655
  • When something has happened to a loved one, it just breaks
  • 00:08:39.655 --> 00:08:43.392
  • Your heart.
  • 00:08:43.392 --> 00:08:45.494
  • And then when you feel financially that you've been run
  • 00:08:45.494 --> 00:08:49.865
  • Out of money because of this and spiritually that you've been
  • 00:08:49.865 --> 00:08:53.269
  • Abandoned by god, that's just the worst.
  • 00:08:53.269 --> 00:08:57.907
  • So, she had a serious problem.
  • 00:08:57.907 --> 00:08:59.275
  • Secondly, she had a lot of obstacles that she had
  • 00:08:59.275 --> 00:09:02.678
  • To overcome.
  • 00:09:02.678 --> 00:09:04.313
  • She is getting healed right in the middle of this oreo.
  • 00:09:04.313 --> 00:09:07.717
  • She is the cream filling, so to speak, of miracles.
  • 00:09:07.717 --> 00:09:10.620
  • She is going to experience a great miracle of god just
  • 00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:16.926
  • Like that.
  • 00:09:16.926 --> 00:09:18.294
  • But in order to do that, she had to overcome obstacles.
  • 00:09:18.294 --> 00:09:23.165
  • There were obstacles to get to jesus.
  • 00:09:23.165 --> 00:09:25.101
  • Look at it again, "when jesus had crossed over again," verse
  • 00:09:25.101 --> 00:09:28.070
  • 21, "in the boat to the other side," the other side of the sea
  • 00:09:28.070 --> 00:09:31.440
  • Of galilee, "a large crowd gathered around him; and so he
  • 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.611
  • Stayed by the seashore.
  • 00:09:35.611 --> 00:09:36.946
  • One of the synagogue officials named jairus came up, and on
  • 00:09:36.946 --> 00:09:40.583
  • Seeing him, fell at his feet and," immediately or, "implored
  • 00:09:40.583 --> 00:09:43.753
  • Him earnestly, saying, 'my little daughter is at the point
  • 00:09:43.753 --> 00:09:46.689
  • Of death; please come and lay your hands on her, so that she
  • 00:09:46.689 --> 00:09:50.993
  • Will get well and live.'
  • 00:09:50.993 --> 00:09:52.862
  • And jesus went off with him; and a large crowd was following him
  • 00:09:52.862 --> 00:09:57.266
  • And pressing in on him."
  • 00:09:57.266 --> 00:10:00.670
  • Now, let's think about her obstacles.
  • 00:10:00.670 --> 00:10:04.707
  • Jesus was helping jairus.
  • 00:10:04.707 --> 00:10:06.742
  • That's her first obstacle.
  • 00:10:06.742 --> 00:10:08.277
  • Jairus is a big shot.
  • 00:10:08.277 --> 00:10:10.146
  • He's a synagogue official.
  • 00:10:10.146 --> 00:10:12.415
  • Hey, her name is not mentioned.
  • 00:10:12.415 --> 00:10:14.550
  • Now she's included in matthew's gospel and luke's gospel, but
  • 00:10:14.550 --> 00:10:19.422
  • She doesn't--we're not giving her name.
  • 00:10:19.422 --> 00:10:21.757
  • Jairus, you're given his name and jairus is well known in
  • 00:10:21.757 --> 00:10:25.428
  • Capernaum because he's the synagogue official.
  • 00:10:25.428 --> 00:10:29.231
  • She hasn't been to the synagogue in 12 years, can't go.
  • 00:10:29.231 --> 00:10:32.702
  • She's unclean, unclean, unclean.
  • 00:10:32.702 --> 00:10:35.071
  • And so, she had to overcome that obstacle that jesus is helping
  • 00:10:35.071 --> 00:10:38.841
  • Somebody who is a big shot, and i'm a little shot if you can
  • 00:10:38.841 --> 00:10:44.547
  • Even call me that.
  • 00:10:44.547 --> 00:10:46.449
  • I am a zero in comparison to this guy.
  • 00:10:46.449 --> 00:10:49.285
  • I'm a nothing.
  • 00:10:49.285 --> 00:10:50.619
  • I'm a nobody and jesus is helping jairus.
  • 00:10:50.619 --> 00:10:54.023
  • Who am i to interrupt that?
  • 00:10:54.023 --> 00:10:56.325
  • And secondly, jesus is in a hurry because jairus's daughter
  • 00:10:56.325 --> 00:11:00.863
  • Is at the point of death.
  • 00:11:00.863 --> 00:11:03.032
  • And so, listen, time is of the essence.
  • 00:11:03.032 --> 00:11:05.935
  • He is going with jairus to his house and he's coming--going
  • 00:11:05.935 --> 00:11:10.005
  • Through this crowd to get to her before she dies to heal her.
  • 00:11:10.005 --> 00:11:16.946
  • And so, she's thinking to herself no doubt, "well i mean,
  • 00:11:16.946 --> 00:11:20.916
  • I don't wanna interrupt him and he's busy and he's got
  • 00:11:20.916 --> 00:11:23.953
  • This--he's going to help this guy and this guy is really
  • 00:11:23.953 --> 00:11:27.723
  • Important and i'm not important and my situation, i mean if i
  • 00:11:27.723 --> 00:11:32.461
  • Have to wait an hour it's not gonna change.
  • 00:11:32.461 --> 00:11:34.563
  • I'm not gonna die.
  • 00:11:34.563 --> 00:11:35.898
  • This isn't life threatening right now.
  • 00:11:35.898 --> 00:11:37.767
  • Could be down the road but not right now.
  • 00:11:37.767 --> 00:11:39.668
  • And so, you know, how can i interrupt him."
  • 00:11:39.668 --> 00:11:44.640
  • Jesus is helping jairus.
  • 00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:46.242
  • Jesus is in a hurry.
  • 00:11:46.242 --> 00:11:47.610
  • Jesus is in a crowd.
  • 00:11:47.610 --> 00:11:49.745
  • The crowd is thronging him, pressing in on him.
  • 00:11:49.745 --> 00:11:53.549
  • I mean, you can just picture in your mind's eye, he's going down
  • 00:11:53.549 --> 00:11:56.418
  • The street and there's a large crowd, as mark says, there's
  • 00:11:56.418 --> 00:12:00.589
  • A large crowd and they're pressing in on him.
  • 00:12:00.589 --> 00:12:03.459
  • It's tight there.
  • 00:12:03.459 --> 00:12:06.462
  • And so, how--she has to go.
  • 00:12:06.462 --> 00:12:10.633
  • She's not physically strong from losing a lot of blood.
  • 00:12:10.633 --> 00:12:14.670
  • We said she was anemic, probably.
  • 00:12:14.670 --> 00:12:16.739
  • She was fatigued.
  • 00:12:16.739 --> 00:12:18.107
  • She was worn out.
  • 00:12:18.107 --> 00:12:19.475
  • This has been going on for year after year after year after
  • 00:12:19.475 --> 00:12:21.210
  • Year, 12 years.
  • 00:12:21.210 --> 00:12:22.545
  • And she's gotta push her way through to get to jesus.
  • 00:12:22.545 --> 00:12:29.084
  • And then the fourth obstacle:
  • 00:12:29.084 --> 00:12:31.320
  • Jesus is clean; she's unclean.
  • 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.024
  • But jesus is not just ceremonially clean,
  • 00:12:35.024 --> 00:12:40.896
  • Jesus is holy.
  • 00:12:40.896 --> 00:12:42.898
  • You know, in mark chapter 1, when jesus goes to the synagogue
  • 00:12:42.898 --> 00:12:47.436
  • At capernaum, that's where this is taking place.
  • 00:12:47.436 --> 00:12:50.973
  • There's a man who is demon possessed.
  • 00:12:50.973 --> 00:12:53.542
  • Comes to church.
  • 00:12:53.542 --> 00:12:54.877
  • He's demon possessed.
  • 00:12:54.877 --> 00:12:56.245
  • He begins to cry out, the demon within him begins to cry out.
  • 00:12:56.245 --> 00:12:59.181
  • And he says to jesus, "i know who you are, the holy one
  • 00:12:59.181 --> 00:13:06.255
  • Of god."
  • 00:13:06.255 --> 00:13:11.026
  • Jesus is holy, holy, holy.
  • 00:13:11.026 --> 00:13:13.596
  • She is unclean, unclean, unclean.
  • 00:13:13.596 --> 00:13:17.867
  • How can i get close to him all these obstacles.
  • 00:13:17.867 --> 00:13:24.039
  • Hey, what do you do when there are obstacles to get to jesus?
  • 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.611
  • Ask, seek, and knock.
  • 00:13:28.611 --> 00:13:29.945
  • Ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking, knock and
  • 00:13:29.945 --> 00:13:32.882
  • Keep knocking.
  • 00:13:32.882 --> 00:13:35.251
  • Cause if you keep on, keep on, keep on, the lord says he will
  • 00:13:35.251 --> 00:13:39.822
  • Answer you, he will open for you, "you will seek me and find
  • 00:13:39.822 --> 00:13:43.759
  • Me when you search for me with all your heart."
  • 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.296
  • Now many of you know the italian philosopher that had one of the
  • 00:13:47.296 --> 00:13:54.236
  • Greatest quotes of all from a few years ago.
  • 00:13:54.236 --> 00:13:59.775
  • That italian philosopher rocky balboa.
  • 00:13:59.775 --> 00:14:05.414
  • And he said in the movie called "rocky balboa," "not you, not
  • 00:14:05.414 --> 00:14:11.020
  • Me, not anybody will hit as hard as life, but life ain't about
  • 00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:16.125
  • How hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and
  • 00:14:16.125 --> 00:14:19.995
  • Keep moving forward, about how much you can take and keep
  • 00:14:19.995 --> 00:14:23.933
  • Moving forward."
  • 00:14:23.933 --> 00:14:25.401
  • That's how winning is done.
  • 00:14:25.401 --> 00:14:28.837
  • Some of you have gotten hit by life.
  • 00:14:28.837 --> 00:14:32.041
  • This lady had gotten hit by life, i mean big time hit
  • 00:14:32.041 --> 00:14:35.277
  • By life.
  • 00:14:35.277 --> 00:14:37.012
  • But she wasn't quitting.
  • 00:14:37.012 --> 00:14:39.615
  • She spent all the money that she could spend all the money she
  • 00:14:39.615 --> 00:14:42.451
  • Had on doctors.
  • 00:14:42.451 --> 00:14:44.253
  • She came to the end of a rope.
  • 00:14:44.253 --> 00:14:45.621
  • "though no doctor can help me, my disease is incurable.
  • 00:14:45.621 --> 00:14:50.092
  • But he can help me.
  • 00:14:50.092 --> 00:14:52.394
  • He can help me."
  • 00:14:52.394 --> 00:14:56.632
  • She has a serious problem.
  • 00:14:56.632 --> 00:14:58.467
  • She had a lot of obstacles.
  • 00:14:58.467 --> 00:15:00.669
  • And thirdly, discovery number three, she had a simple faith,
  • 00:15:00.669 --> 00:15:05.374
  • A simple faith.
  • 00:15:05.374 --> 00:15:07.476
  • We would say a desperate faith because her situation is very
  • 00:15:07.476 --> 00:15:10.579
  • Desperate, but it was just a simple faith.
  • 00:15:10.579 --> 00:15:14.116
  • And it says in verse 27, "after hearing about jesus, she came up
  • 00:15:14.116 --> 00:15:20.055
  • In the crowd behind him and touched his cloak," touched the
  • 00:15:20.055 --> 00:15:24.059
  • Hem of his garment, "for she thought, 'if i just touch his
  • 00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:28.030
  • Garments,' i will get well.
  • 00:15:28.030 --> 00:15:31.467
  • And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt
  • 00:15:31.467 --> 00:15:37.272
  • In her body that she was healed of her affliction."
  • 00:15:37.272 --> 00:15:41.410
  • And it happened that fast.
  • 00:15:41.410 --> 00:15:42.845
  • As soon as she touched the hem of his garment, she was healed.
  • 00:15:42.845 --> 00:15:47.716
  • Don't you know that was the most exhilarating experience for her.
  • 00:15:47.716 --> 00:15:51.887
  • The most exhilarating moment.
  • 00:15:51.887 --> 00:15:54.056
  • "i've had this for 12 years and now it's just gone and it's just
  • 00:15:54.056 --> 00:15:57.960
  • Gone so quickly."
  • 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.163
  • She had a simple faith.
  • 00:16:01.163 --> 00:16:04.233
  • Now, when we talk about touching the hem of his garment, you
  • 00:16:04.233 --> 00:16:07.002
  • Know, the jews were commanded to put a tassel, a blue cord in
  • 00:16:07.002 --> 00:16:12.307
  • Numbers 15.
  • 00:16:12.307 --> 00:16:13.675
  • They were--the men would put a blue cord on the edges of their
  • 00:16:13.675 --> 00:16:16.278
  • Robes to remind them of the commands of god.
  • 00:16:16.278 --> 00:16:19.915
  • She just wanted to touch that cord, that hem of his garment.
  • 00:16:19.915 --> 00:16:26.388
  • Now she wasn't gonna pull on it, she was just gonna touch it.
  • 00:16:26.388 --> 00:16:31.293
  • And here's the amazing thing, if you just touch that, there's no
  • 00:16:31.293 --> 00:16:36.432
  • Way in the world that anyone would know that you touched it.
  • 00:16:36.432 --> 00:16:42.838
  • People are jostling jesus.
  • 00:16:42.838 --> 00:16:44.339
  • He's getting, you know, thronged and crowded.
  • 00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:48.811
  • And she just touches that.
  • 00:16:48.811 --> 00:16:51.413
  • And boom, she is healed.
  • 00:16:51.413 --> 00:16:55.617
  • And jesus knew it immediately.
  • 00:16:55.617 --> 00:16:58.487
  • And jesus responded, it says, "immediately her flow of blood
  • 00:16:58.487 --> 00:17:01.457
  • Was dried up."
  • 00:17:01.457 --> 00:17:02.825
  • Verse 30, "immediately jesus, perceiving in himself that the
  • 00:17:02.825 --> 00:17:07.429
  • Power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned around in the
  • 00:17:07.429 --> 00:17:10.766
  • Crowd and said, 'who touched my garments?'
  • 00:17:10.766 --> 00:17:14.036
  • And his disciples said to him, 'you see the crowd pressing in
  • 00:17:14.036 --> 00:17:17.473
  • On you, and you say, "who touched me?"'"
  • 00:17:17.473 --> 00:17:21.243
  • I mean, they they were like, "what do you mean who
  • 00:17:21.243 --> 00:17:22.711
  • Touched you?
  • 00:17:22.711 --> 00:17:24.046
  • Everybody's touching you."
  • 00:17:24.046 --> 00:17:26.281
  • But jesus knows when someone touches him by faith, he knows.
  • 00:17:26.281 --> 00:17:31.453
  • There's a big difference.
  • 00:17:31.453 --> 00:17:33.622
  • You know, the bible says that, "faith," hebrews 11:1, "faith is
  • 00:17:33.622 --> 00:17:36.925
  • The assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
  • 00:17:36.925 --> 00:17:39.928
  • Not seen."
  • 00:17:39.928 --> 00:17:41.430
  • It goes on to say in verse 6 of hebrews 11, "without faith, it's
  • 00:17:41.430 --> 00:17:45.534
  • Impossible to please god.
  • 00:17:45.534 --> 00:17:47.336
  • For he who comes to god must believe that he is and that he's
  • 00:17:47.336 --> 00:17:50.339
  • A rewarder of those who seek him."
  • 00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:55.477
  • Jesus knows when you touch him with a touch of faith.
  • 00:17:55.477 --> 00:18:01.016
  • Not a tug, just a touch.
  • 00:18:01.016 --> 00:18:04.019
  • And she was no doubt saying to herself, "i won't make him
  • 00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:08.157
  • Unclean if i just touch the hem of his garment, that tassel."
  • 00:18:08.157 --> 00:18:15.264
  • And he knows and he cares when someone touches him in faith.
  • 00:18:15.264 --> 00:18:23.071
  • So he stops.
  • 00:18:23.071 --> 00:18:24.673
  • Now remember, jairus's daughter is at the point of death.
  • 00:18:24.673 --> 00:18:28.610
  • So, they're hurrying to get where he needs to go,
  • 00:18:28.610 --> 00:18:32.481
  • To jairus's house.
  • 00:18:32.481 --> 00:18:33.849
  • He stops.
  • 00:18:33.849 --> 00:18:35.217
  • "who is it who touched me?"
  • 00:18:35.217 --> 00:18:36.552
  • "rabbi, you say, 'who's it who touched you?'
  • 00:18:36.552 --> 00:18:37.886
  • Everybody's touching you."
  • 00:18:37.886 --> 00:18:39.254
  • "no, no, no, somebody touched me.
  • 00:18:39.254 --> 00:18:40.656
  • It was--i felt power go out from me."
  • 00:18:40.656 --> 00:18:43.425
  • And he begins to look around.
  • 00:18:43.425 --> 00:18:45.894
  • The woman no doubt wanted to slip away.
  • 00:18:45.894 --> 00:18:48.597
  • She wanted to get her a miracle and then slip away because she
  • 00:18:48.597 --> 00:18:52.634
  • Didn't wanna interrupt jesus or bother jesus, but jesus wouldn't
  • 00:18:52.634 --> 00:18:56.305
  • Let her do that.
  • 00:18:56.305 --> 00:18:57.906
  • He cares when someone touches him.
  • 00:18:57.906 --> 00:19:01.710
  • "and he looked around," verse 32, "to see the woman who had
  • 00:19:01.710 --> 00:19:05.480
  • Done this.
  • 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.848
  • But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had
  • 00:19:06.848 --> 00:19:09.218
  • Happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the
  • 00:19:09.218 --> 00:19:13.622
  • Whole truth."
  • 00:19:13.622 --> 00:19:15.924
  • She told him how long she had been having this sickness, for
  • 00:19:15.924 --> 00:19:20.229
  • 12 years.
  • 00:19:20.229 --> 00:19:21.563
  • She told him about wasting all her money with the doctor.
  • 00:19:21.563 --> 00:19:24.566
  • She told him about the physical pain and the emotional pain and
  • 00:19:24.566 --> 00:19:29.504
  • The spiritual pain.
  • 00:19:29.504 --> 00:19:30.872
  • She told him about all that.
  • 00:19:30.872 --> 00:19:33.575
  • And she had heard that jesus could heal.
  • 00:19:33.575 --> 00:19:38.680
  • And she said, "i just know if i touch the hem of his garment,
  • 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.718
  • I will be healed," and she was.
  • 00:19:42.718 --> 00:19:45.621
  • And he told her all those things.
  • 00:19:45.621 --> 00:19:48.123
  • Now the lord did not call her out to embarrass her.
  • 00:19:48.123 --> 00:19:52.661
  • You know she had been embarrassed enough because
  • 00:19:52.661 --> 00:19:54.997
  • Of this sickness.
  • 00:19:54.997 --> 00:19:56.431
  • He didn't do that.
  • 00:19:56.431 --> 00:19:58.200
  • He called her out because he cared about her.
  • 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.235
  • He didn't want her to receive a physical healing and then
  • 00:20:00.235 --> 00:20:03.805
  • Go away.
  • 00:20:03.805 --> 00:20:05.140
  • He wanted to do something more in her life.
  • 00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:08.510
  • And he says in verse 34, "he said to her, 'daughter, your
  • 00:20:08.510 --> 00:20:13.115
  • Faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your
  • 00:20:13.115 --> 00:20:18.487
  • Affliction,'" of your scourge, of the whip that had been upon
  • 00:20:18.487 --> 00:20:22.257
  • You for these 12 years.
  • 00:20:22.257 --> 00:20:24.226
  • He calls her daughter.
  • 00:20:24.226 --> 00:20:26.428
  • You know, she's the only person in scripture that jesus ever
  • 00:20:26.428 --> 00:20:29.831
  • Called daughter, the only one.
  • 00:20:29.831 --> 00:20:33.568
  • You know she's a woman, but he calls her daughter.
  • 00:20:33.568 --> 00:20:38.106
  • That's a term of endearment.
  • 00:20:38.106 --> 00:20:40.709
  • And i think it's interesting because he's going to the home
  • 00:20:40.709 --> 00:20:43.979
  • Of jairus to heal his daughter, but he tells this woman who felt
  • 00:20:43.979 --> 00:20:50.185
  • So abandoned by god, "you're a daughter of the king.
  • 00:20:50.185 --> 00:20:55.924
  • You're a daughter of the king of kings and lord of lords.
  • 00:20:55.924 --> 00:21:00.329
  • Daughter, your faith has made you well."
  • 00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:03.932
  • Now she knew there wasn't anything magic about his robe.
  • 00:21:03.932 --> 00:21:08.036
  • There's--the power wasn't in his robe, the power was in the
  • 00:21:08.036 --> 00:21:11.006
  • Person of the lord jesus.
  • 00:21:11.006 --> 00:21:15.077
  • And she knew, "if i touched that, if i just touch it, if i
  • 00:21:15.077 --> 00:21:18.146
  • Just get close enough to him to touch that tassel, he'll heal
  • 00:21:18.146 --> 00:21:22.551
  • Me," and she believed that.
  • 00:21:22.551 --> 00:21:24.920
  • And the lord responded to her faith.
  • 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.557
  • And he knows when we reach out and touch him by faith.
  • 00:21:28.557 --> 00:21:31.893
  • He cares when we reach out and touch him by faith.
  • 00:21:31.893 --> 00:21:36.164
  • And he desires to restore us at the deepest level, at the
  • 00:21:36.164 --> 00:21:41.536
  • Deepest level.
  • 00:21:41.536 --> 00:21:42.904
  • That's why he wouldn't let her leave.
  • 00:21:42.904 --> 00:21:45.607
  • He called her to himself so that he could restore her, so that he
  • 00:21:45.607 --> 00:21:49.711
  • Could let her know that she was a daughter of the king of kings
  • 00:21:49.711 --> 00:21:52.581
  • And lord of lords.
  • 00:21:52.581 --> 00:21:54.516
  • So that she was special and she was loved and god hadn't
  • 00:21:54.516 --> 00:21:58.253
  • Forgotten her and he knew about her pain.
  • 00:21:58.253 --> 00:22:03.458
  • The lord wants to heal us, not just the surface.
  • 00:22:03.458 --> 00:22:07.396
  • He wants to heal us at the deepest point, at the
  • 00:22:07.396 --> 00:22:11.666
  • Deepest level.
  • 00:22:11.666 --> 00:22:15.637
  • And jesus is so loving and so caring and so kind because he
  • 00:22:15.637 --> 00:22:22.110
  • Wasn't gonna let her get away.
  • 00:22:22.110 --> 00:22:24.279
  • "daughter, your faith has saved you.
  • 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:28.617
  • Yes, you've been healed, but there's something so much more.
  • 00:22:28.617 --> 00:22:32.454
  • You've been saved.
  • 00:22:32.454 --> 00:22:33.855
  • Your faith has made you well."
  • 00:22:33.855 --> 00:22:35.223
  • Sozo, which means to save.
  • 00:22:35.223 --> 00:22:36.725
  • It's the same word as salvation.
  • 00:22:36.725 --> 00:22:38.427
  • Your faith has saved you.
  • 00:22:38.427 --> 00:22:41.129
  • Listen, i don't know where you are today, but i know that all
  • 00:22:41.129 --> 00:22:49.738
  • Of us can relate to this woman in one degree or another.
  • 00:22:49.738 --> 00:22:56.311
  • The lord cares about you.
  • 00:22:56.311 --> 00:22:59.514
  • If you're dealing with a serious problem that's physical,
  • 00:22:59.514 --> 00:23:02.818
  • He cares, that's emotional, he cares.
  • 00:23:02.818 --> 00:23:04.886
  • If you're dealing with a sin problem, he cares, he cares.
  • 00:23:04.886 --> 00:23:10.892
  • But you have to get to jesus.
  • 00:23:10.892 --> 00:23:14.563
  • The lord says, "and you'll seek me and find me when you search
  • 00:23:14.563 --> 00:23:16.932
  • For me with all your heart."
  • 00:23:16.932 --> 00:23:19.935
  • You can't let some obstacles stop you.
  • 00:23:19.935 --> 00:23:26.274
  • You gotta keep praying, you gotta keep seeking, you gotta
  • 00:23:26.274 --> 00:23:29.911
  • Keep asking, you gotta keep knocking, you gotta keep coming
  • 00:23:29.911 --> 00:23:33.348
  • Before him.
  • 00:23:33.348 --> 00:23:34.716
  • A righteous man falls seven times, and what does he do?
  • 00:23:34.716 --> 00:23:37.085
  • He doesn't stay down, he rises again.
  • 00:23:37.085 --> 00:23:41.623
  • Have you thrown in the towel on your situation thinking that it
  • 00:23:41.623 --> 00:23:46.294
  • Can ever change, thinking it's been so long?
  • 00:23:46.294 --> 00:23:49.097
  • "i don't think this will ever change."
  • 00:23:49.097 --> 00:23:51.500
  • She probably thought that too.
  • 00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:54.236
  • But then she heard about jesus, the one who's mighty to save,
  • 00:23:54.236 --> 00:23:57.172
  • The one who can do anything.
  • 00:23:57.172 --> 00:23:59.140
  • He is the god of all flesh.
  • 00:23:59.140 --> 00:24:00.475
  • Is anything too difficult for him?
  • 00:24:00.475 --> 00:24:02.110
  • And the answer is no.
  • 00:24:02.110 --> 00:24:04.112
  • He can work a miracle in your life and in my life and in our
  • 00:24:04.112 --> 00:24:08.617
  • Marriages and in our families and in our businesses, in every
  • 00:24:08.617 --> 00:24:13.221
  • Aspect of life if we will just trust him.
  • 00:24:13.221 --> 00:24:18.927
  • Jeff: in the earthly ministry of jesus, he interacted with
  • 00:24:21.229 --> 00:24:24.065
  • A lot of people in a variety of ways.
  • 00:24:24.065 --> 00:24:26.635
  • And the responses given to him were equally diverse.
  • 00:24:26.635 --> 00:24:30.639
  • Now, many encounters led to positive outcomes like healing
  • 00:24:30.639 --> 00:24:34.009
  • And deliverance and salvation, but others resulted in conflict
  • 00:24:34.009 --> 00:24:39.281
  • And rejection.
  • 00:24:39.281 --> 00:24:40.715
  • Our lord demonstrated his love by meeting each person where
  • 00:24:40.715 --> 00:24:44.252
  • They were physically and spiritually, often in their
  • 00:24:44.252 --> 00:24:47.556
  • Everyday environment.
  • 00:24:47.556 --> 00:24:49.057
  • He showed compassion and he cared for people's needs.
  • 00:24:49.057 --> 00:24:53.028
  • He also spoke to people's hearts and connected with them on
  • 00:24:53.028 --> 00:24:55.997
  • A personal level.
  • 00:24:55.997 --> 00:24:57.365
  • But some were offended by his teachings and they turned away.
  • 00:24:57.365 --> 00:25:00.869
  • And some simply hated him even to the point of death.
  • 00:25:00.869 --> 00:25:05.240
  • So, here's the question, what about you?
  • 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:08.209
  • Can you encounter those opposed to jesus and remain focused on
  • 00:25:08.209 --> 00:25:12.047
  • Sharing the good news?
  • 00:25:12.047 --> 00:25:13.648

  • Have you met the master?
  • 00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:19.581

  • And if not, today can be the day for you.

  • Pray this prayer with me.

  • Lord jesus, i need you.

  • I know that i'm a sinner and i'm lost and i can't save myself,
  • 00:26:30.458 --> 00:26:34.496
  • But jesus, i believe that you are god in the flesh.
  • 00:26:34.496 --> 00:26:38.066
  • I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from
  • 00:26:38.066 --> 00:26:41.369
  • The dead.
  • 00:26:41.369 --> 00:26:42.704
