Healer - Week Five
NOTES:
While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
Then Jesus stopped the crowd and wouldn’t let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and John (the brother of James). When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw much commotion and weeping and wailing. He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
The crowd laughed at him. But he made them all leave, and he took the girl’s father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying. Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means “Little girl, get up!” And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were overwhelmed and totally amazed. Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone what had happened, and then he told them to give her something to eat. Mark 5:35–43 (NLT)
Jesus will not be HURRIED.
Jesus EXCEEDS our EXPECTATIONS.
If God always met your expectations,
He’d never have a chance to exceed them.
IGNORE those who tell you to GIVE UP.
REFUSE FEAR.
Keep BELIEVING.
BOTTOM LINE: Jesus can take you from fear to faith.
THE CHALLENGE: It's time to get up.
