1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,400
It was John Flavel who said 
about Jesus. 

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,600
He is bread to the hungry water 
to the Thirsty. 

3
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:20,800
He is a garment to the naked 
healing to the wounded and 

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,400
whatever a soul can desire is 
found in him. 

5
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,100
Whatever a soul can desire is 
found in him. 

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,200
And my prayer is that, as we 
continue in this gospel, the 

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,800
gospel of Mark, that would 
become a greater reality to you.

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,700
That would be a discovery that 
you would know week after week, 

9
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,400
whatever this Soul needs and 
Longs for is ultimately found in

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,600
this person, Jesus Christ. 
And so let's do that together. 

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,400
Let's go to Mark chapter 5 and 
meet me there at verse 21. 

12
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:06,400
Mark 5:21. 
Thank you for that prayer, 

13
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:09,200
brother. 
I want to just pray again. 

14
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,000
And ask God for very similar 
things that you just asked for 

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,700
on behalf of this congregation. 
Lord, we do come again. 

16
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,500
Your word is before us, and it 
could be very true that some 

17
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,900
here, love your word with 
everything in their hearts and 

18
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:30,400
some who might be very 
indifferent to the word, but we 

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,500
just pray that in your good 
Mercy, you would overwhelm You 

20
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:40,900
would overwhelm all apathy, and 
distraction carelessness Lord 

21
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:46,400
that you would dominate every 
heart by your great love. help 

22
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Lord, the delivery of this 
message and even in the way we 

23
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,500
receive it, Lord through all our
weakness. 

24
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,200
We ask that you would make her 
power perfect. 

25
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,300
You promised that? 
That would be the case. 

26
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,500
So, we trust in you today in 
Jesus name, amen. 

27
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,100
For the remainder of this 
chapter and Mark, Mark chapter 

28
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:13,100
5, you and I are given a lengthy
account of to not one, but two 

29
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:17,400
incredible Miracles, that Jesus 
performed before. 

30
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,800
Making his way back to his 
hometown to minister there. 

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,300
As you will see together with me
in Mark chapter 6. 

32
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Now it would make sense for us 
to take these two amazing 

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,400
testimonies and deal with them 
separately, but that is not And 

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,200
how the Holy Spirit authored 
these two miracles to be 

35
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:43,200
explained and to be shared and 
to be told the Bible student 

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,600
will remember, if you remember, 
Mark chapter 5 that these two 

37
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,700
testimonies of two different, 
people who desperately needed a 

38
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,700
touch from Jesus are woven 
together. 

39
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:01,700
And so these events actually 
intersect in real-time, they're 

40
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,700
not blocked out in different 
occurrences. 

41
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,400
They are actually shared and 
that is a particular blessing on

42
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,200
its own because you and I 
understand something about life,

43
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,000
do we not? 
Yes. 

44
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,300
This this is going to be 
beautifully suspenseful, but it 

45
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:21,100
also speaks about a familiar 
picture of the interferences, 

46
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:24,700
the obstacles, the hindrances 
the surprises. 

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,100
And the turbulence is that you 
and I I know in real life. 

48
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,700
And so what will make this very 
special today? 

49
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,500
Is that there is a very 
realistic Rhythm to this 

50
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:39,100
testimony. 
And we can identify with that 

51
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,700
life is layered things happen at
the same time. 

52
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:49,200
And things can sometimes be 
overwhelming or they can 

53
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,200
accelerate more than we planned 
or delay more than we would like

54
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400
to. 
And that is precisely one of the

55
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,400
themes of what we're going to 
see here. 

56
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,100
This is a very identifiable, 
human experience with this 

57
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,600
story. 
Now, as we come to it, we can 

58
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,900
look at it from different 
Vantage points is, right? 

59
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,000
We can look at it from the, the 
view of our Lord Jesus, we can 

60
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,700
see it from the view of gyrus, 
we can even. 

61
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:14,900
Look at it through the woman who
needed a touch from this great 

62
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,000
physician. 
But instead of just looking at 

63
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,100
one or through one lens, why 
don't just take advantage of all

64
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,900
of them? 
And see what it is that God has 

65
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:27,400
to say, through these characters
in this complex interaction 

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,900
between all of them. 
Because each of them have 

67
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:34,000
something of Great Value Great 
Value in our understanding of 

68
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,700
who Christ is, and how we can, 
and should relate to him and 

69
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:40,600
sorry with me. 
The first few verses beginning 

70
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,900
in verse 21, And when Jesus had 
crossed again in the boat to the

71
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,700
other side, a great crowd 
gathered about him. 

72
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,700
And he was beside the sea then 
came out. 

73
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:57,400
One of the rulers of the 
synagogue gyrus by name and 

74
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,800
seeing him, he fell at his feet 
and implored him earnestly 

75
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,800
saying, my little daughter is at
the point of death come and lay 

76
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
your hands on her so that she 
may be made. 

77
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,300
Well and live. 
And he went with him and a great

78
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:18,600
crowd, followed him and thronged
about him. 

79
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,400
The reason why Jesus has we see 
here in the first verse cross, 

80
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,100
to the other side of Galilee was
because he was begged to leave. 

81
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,000
By the inhabitants of the 
country. 

82
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,200
In the King, James of the 
gadarenes or got in a Readiness.

83
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,100
So many ways of saying these 
different words. 

84
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:40,900
And even after the Lord 
performed, such a spectacular 

85
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,000
Act of Mercy. 
For that, demoniac, that was 

86
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,400
terrorizing their region, the 
neighboring citizens. when I 

87
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,800
slow to conclude that they 
wanted nothing to do with Jesus,

88
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:58,400
And so, they drove him out. 
They begged him to leave because

89
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:04,300
at the loss of 2000 pigs. 
They calculated very early on 

90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,900
that maintaining the presence of
Christ in our midst might 

91
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:13,400
actually be very costly. 
And he might be the cause of 

92
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,500
much more loss, and we can't 
afford that, of course. 

93
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:21,200
And so, without hesitation, they
told him to leave. 

94
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,000
And he did, he got in the same 
boat and he went on his way to 

95
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,200
what we just read now and 
considering that background in 

96
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,400
preparation for the Miracles at 
hand, I could not help but think

97
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,900
that the people that told them 
to leave who thought that they 

98
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,200
would profit by rejecting 
Christ, would actually forfeit 

99
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,600
so much for their unbelief. 
Right. 

100
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:51,200
When we realize what Jesus is 
about to do in this area, in 

101
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,700
this region in this 
neighborhood. 

102
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,700
It makes you wonder what could 
have happened? 

103
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,200
What other blessings? 
Those people who vehement Lee 

104
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,300
told him to back away and turn 
around, will miss out on, will 

105
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,300
miss out on. 
We often talk about this, don't 

106
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,700
we? 
The cost of following Jesus, the

107
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,100
cost of following there is a 
cost to follow Jesus. 

108
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,100
There's a greater cost of not 
following him. 

109
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,000
Greater costs, not just in the 
next life. 

110
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,500
In this life, in this life, I do
not envy the man who walks about

111
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,500
as a shell, no matter what he 
adorns himself with. 

112
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000
He is the only one that can fill
you and change you and renew you

113
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,900
and give you that piece that you
are searching for. 

114
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,800
And here's Jesus now, On a new 
scene surrounded by fresh group 

115
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,300
of people. 
They are eager hungry longing, 

116
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:46,300
they've heard the reports and 
now they want to experience it 

117
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:50,200
for themselves and all for a 
sudden this very familiar sight 

118
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,200
of Jesus being surrounded by men
and women and children is 

119
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,300
suddenly interrupted by the 
presence of a man named gyrus. 

120
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,200
And the spotlight falls on him, 
not just in our text. 

121
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:07,100
But even then, because clearly 
for this crowd and the commotion

122
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,900
to settle implies that this man 
is special, there's something 

123
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:18,600
about him. he has a certain 
reputation, Shirley He was known

124
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,100
Shirley. 
And what it requires for us to 

125
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:26,200
do at this point is to pause and
meditate on the descriptions 

126
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,100
that are connected to this 
gyrus, in order to appreciate in

127
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,500
a greater way. 
What is about to take place? 

128
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,000
And so I want you to consider 
with me briefly as we come to 

129
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
the word of God. 
Again to look at three important

130
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,100
aspects about gyrus this man 
that will help us understand the

131
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:45,700
greatness of this story. 
The first thing we have to look 

132
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,800
at is gyrus has reputation. 
As I mentioned before, we even 

133
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,400
told his name. 
What you and I have been 

134
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,800
informed about was what he did. 
He was a ruler of the synagogue 

135
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,600
and if you've been with us long 
enough, you should hopefully 

136
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,900
know that. 
That is significant in itself. 

137
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,200
We've already been convinced 
that the religious leadership of

138
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Jesus day have had a consensus. 
That this man is to be 

139
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,400
condemned. 
It was public, it was open. 

140
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,500
And so vicious was their 
hostility towards Jesus. 

141
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,000
That while our precious master 
was traveling about and healing 

142
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
and teaching, they were in the 
dark plotting, his destruction. 

143
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,800
And whenever they had a chance 
to openly resist him, it was not

144
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,200
a secret to understand that the 
religious Elite hated Jesus. 

145
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:44,200
And here, now we're told about a
ruler of the synagogue. 

146
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,500
And though gyrus is not 
explicitly, a Pharisee, we're 

147
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:53,300
not told that there is no doubt 
that he is connected to the 

148
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:56,000
other leaders. 
And there is no doubt that he 

149
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,600
was fully aware of their 
antagonism of their hatred, 

150
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:05,100
maybe even of their plot. 
Gyrus was familiar with who this

151
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:09,900
Jesus was and the nature of his 
work, made him accountable to 

152
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,200
those others who were enemies of
Jesus. 

153
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,100
And you can just imagine them 
how this is so exceptional. 

154
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,300
Even so early on, in this story 
because it's obvious that gyrus 

155
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:24,100
was not influenced by that at 
all, at all. 

156
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,400
He could care less he comes here
publicly and now only these he 

157
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,700
address Jesus. 
Not only does he put himself at 

158
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:39,100
risk With his peers and his 
companions. 

159
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:45,300
And his partners, he falls on 
his face and he begs Jesus. 

160
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,300
He begs Jesus. 
You're going to come before 

161
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:56,200
Public, Enemy Number One, and 
expose yourself with, so much to

162
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,300
lose just for that very Act. 
Makes me think about Nicodemus 

163
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:06,600
in comparison who was a Pharisee
who was in the same camp as 

164
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,600
gyrus though maybe in a higher 
position of course but what did 

165
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,400
he do when he wanted to meet 
with Jesus? 

166
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,800
He waited till there was no 
light. 

167
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,500
He waited till people went to 
bed and he made his way to this 

168
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,000
controversial Rabbi to have some
kind of a conversation. 

169
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,100
This was not gyrus. 
Gyrus comes on the other hand, 

170
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:30,700
unaffected by the potential risk
of what this very move would 

171
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:34,900
cause and his life. 
And it makes me wonder what 

172
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:39,300
happened to this man gyrus for 
him to be, so open with his 

173
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,500
association with Jesus. 
Which brings us to the second 

174
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,200
Point, not just gyrus his 
reputation, but gyrus is Crisis.

175
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600
We saw that we not in verse 23, 
he implored him earnestly saying

176
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:54,400
my little daughter is at the 
point of death. 

177
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,700
Come lay your hands on her. 
That she might be wait made well

178
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:02,000
and live. 
Okay, it makes sense. 

179
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,300
Now it makes sense. 
Your little baby is dying. 

180
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,600
You little girl. 
Her life is Vanishing right 

181
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,500
before your eyes. 
Pay attention to what I'm about 

182
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:17,800
to say and lean in as much as 
possible. 

183
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,300
Despite maybe the little 
chirping that you hear around 

184
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:25,900
Devastation is often the 
wrecking ball, that obliterates 

185
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:29,200
ones, hesitation or carelessness
and coming to Christ. 

186
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:36,000
Devastation is often the 
wrecking ball, that brings Down 

187
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
the Walls of hesitation and 
carelessness of one coming to 

188
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,900
Christ. 
It is not a mystery, how God 

189
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:47,200
becomes very attractive when 
someone becomes severely 

190
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,800
afflicted. 
There is no mention of gyrus 

191
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,700
before this moment, there is no 
inclination that he ever 

192
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:57,100
interacted with Jesus inquired 
of Jesus. 

193
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,500
As if anything even more 
evidence that he stayed away 

194
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:03,800
from Jesus concerning his 
occupation. 

195
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,200
And yet here, we realize that 
there is a motivation alas. 

196
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,000
His his daughter now is on the 
brink of death and he hears of a

197
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,700
man who's able to heal all kinds
of illnesses. 

198
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:20,600
And now he has this strong 
strong motivation. 

199
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,700
A reason to come and so strong. 
Was it that he comes to the 

200
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:28,300
Lord? 
And every potential fear of 

201
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:32,500
losing fellowship with the elite
or his well-respected job is 

202
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:38,400
gone. 
And we see even here in his 

203
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,700
plea, the tenderness the 
Brokenness, the desperation of 

204
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,800
this request. 
He didn't just say my daughter, 

205
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:50,200
my little daughter. 
My little daughter, she's young 

206
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:54,300
suffering at any point of life 
is traumatic, but there's 

207
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,300
something especially 
heart-wrenching when we see a 

208
00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:58,200
little child fighting for their 
life. 

209
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,700
That is exactly what we see 
here. 

210
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:04,000
A man desperate for a baby who 
hasn't even seen the dawn of 

211
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,300
adulthood yet. 
And so he pleads my little girl,

212
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:10,600
my little baby, My little 
daughter. 

213
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:17,300
Now, Luke emphasizes a different
aspect of this account and verse

214
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:22,400
42 of chapter 8, he informs us 
that she was his only daughter. 

215
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:27,400
Mark tells us through his own 
lips, gyrus, his own lips, my 

216
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,000
little daughter, when Luke 
narrates the story, he says she 

217
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,600
was his only daughter. 
All that adds another aspect to 

218
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,400
it. 
There's a not. 

219
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,400
This is all gyrus had. 
This is all gyrus had this 

220
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,400
precious little girl. 
No one else. 

221
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,500
Think about the dreams and the 
aspirations he had for her. 

222
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,800
Think about the prayers as a 
devout man, that he prayed to 

223
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,100
God on her behalf. 
Think about the memories that he

224
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:58,200
had with her. 
No son. 

225
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,700
No other kids. 
Just this one little daughter. 

226
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,600
So near and dear to his heart. 
And now, within a few moments, 

227
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:11,900
all of that can disappear, all 
of that can just just be gone. 

228
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,100
And so he has no issue pushing 
through this crowd. 

229
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:19,700
He does not care of the presence
of Pharisees are Sadducees are 

230
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:23,900
herodians, and he comes to this 
Jesus, and he falls on his 

231
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:26,000
knees. 
And he says, would you come 

232
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,200
please my, my little daughter? 
Needs divine intervention. 

233
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:39,000
Suffering can do that. 
Suffering has a way of bending, 

234
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,700
your will suffering, has a way 
of prioritizing your life and 

235
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:50,300
bringing you to the one who can 
only bring Solutions and 

236
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:55,300
salvations unlike any other. 
This man comes, and he needs The

237
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:58,700
Miracle Worker to step in, which
brings us to the third aspect of

238
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,600
gyrus that we must consider. 
Not just his reputation, not 

239
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,400
just his crisis, but his faith, 
his faith. 

240
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,500
It's so obvious and clear, is a 
not and Matthews emphasis of the

241
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,900
same story because we find it in
Luke, we find it in Matthew 

242
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Matthews, emphasis shows us just
how great this faith is. 

243
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,300
And I would encourage you to 
turn that to see it with your 

244
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,900
own eyes and Matthew 9. 
We read here. 

245
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,500
In verse 18, Matthew 9 verse 18.
It's a much more condensed 

246
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:36,800
version of the story. 
But it sheds a specific light 

247
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,000
that helps us know that the 
faith of this man while he was 

248
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,300
saying these things to them. 
Behold a ruler came in and now 

249
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:52,700
it's before him saying my 
daughter has just died. but come

250
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:57,700
and lay your hand on her and she
will live Don't think that 

251
00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:59,900
there's a contradiction here. 
I'm sure it looks like it at 

252
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:06,200
face value is just that Matthew 
is interested here to focus on 

253
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,900
the fact that the daughter did 
in fact die, Mark tells us later

254
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,200
on in his own story. 
So she did die, there's no 

255
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,500
contradiction. 
But instead of looking at the 

256
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:17,300
stretched out appeal and 
interaction, he just wants to 

257
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:21,000
get straight to the point. 
The hopelessness of the 

258
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,200
situation, the no turning back 
aspect of it. 

259
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,599
She died. 
My daughter has just died. 

260
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,000
And so, if you look at Matthews 
account, then you understand 

261
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,500
that gyrus did not just believe 
Jesus to heal his daughter, but 

262
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:38,100
to raise her from the dead. 
You can actually bring her back 

263
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,500
to life. 
And if you're there in Matthew, 

264
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,900
it's even a greater blessing. 
To see that as he makes this 

265
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:51,500
appeal, it is placed in the part
of Matthew's text. 

266
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,200
That should compare to something
else that happened. 

267
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,100
Something else that happened in 
Matthew chapter 8 with a very 

268
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:02,000
similar situation, another great
demonstration of trust and who 

269
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,700
Jesus was and what he can do. 
Do you remember of that man? 

270
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,400
Who came to Jesus on behalf of 
his servant? 

271
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,600
And he asked the my servant is 
suffering terribly. 

272
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,800
And he asks, if the Lord could 
heal him and the Lord assured 

273
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,700
him, I will come with you and 
this Centurion stops him. 

274
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:22,700
Before he takes another step, 
and he says there in Matthew 8 

275
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:27,400
verse 7, Jesus said to him, I 
will come and heal him and verse

276
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,800
8 of Matthew 8, but the 
Centurion replied Lord, I am not

277
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,900
worthy to have you come under my
roof, but only say the word and 

278
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:43,200
my servant will be healed. 
This Centurion had such a 

279
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,000
revelation of the authority of 
Jesus Christ that he firmly 

280
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,800
believed that the Lord did not 
even need to come into close 

281
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,500
proximity. 
All he had to do was sent forth 

282
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:55,100
his word and the word would 
suffice. 

283
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Gyrus had faith. 
Not that kind of faith. 

284
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,500
Not to this extent. 
And we don't want to condemn 

285
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:10,000
gyrus. but it's worth looking at
the contrast to see what is this

286
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,800
mean for us, gyrus Was a ruler 
in the synagogue, he was 

287
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,900
constantly in the presence of 
God's people like you are here 

288
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:21,700
week after week under and 
supervising and organizing the 

289
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,900
readings of the Scrolls and 
God's word. 

290
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:29,000
Being proclaimed declared study,
rehearse, memorize song. 

291
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:34,400
He had some kind of 
understanding, I'm sure. 

292
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,700
Of God in his own life. 
And yet, with all of that 

293
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:42,900
exposure, with all of that 
experience, he lacked the 

294
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:45,500
quality of faith of someone who 
was a complete Foreigner to 

295
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:48,800
these things. 
This, the Centurion is a Roman. 

296
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,100
He's a gentile, he is totally 
disconnected from gyrus his 

297
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:58,900
background and yet, he exercised
greater faith in the person of 

298
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:02,200
Jesus Christ. 
Why am I bringing this up to you

299
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,600
to encourage you to encourage 
you in this way that you and I 

300
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,300
don't need a superb. 
Herb education or occupation or 

301
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,200
reputation or position? 
Does it matter? 

302
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,500
To touch the Heart of Jesus 
Christ. 

303
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,400
See what often impresses. 
Men doesn't move God. 

304
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:27,500
And sometimes we feel like we 
can't come to the place of 

305
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:31,500
moving the heart of our God, 
because we lack what men says, 

306
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:36,300
you need to be a true. 
Spiritual intimate servant of 

307
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,600
Jesus Christ. 
This Centurion had nothing of 

308
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,900
the sort, no Letters by his 
name, no backing nothing other 

309
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:49,400
than the faith to believe that 
this Jesus, that he's heard 

310
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,300
about, can do all things. 
And that move the heart of 

311
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,000
Christ. 
Do not remember where he prays. 

312
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:56,800
is Faith and he says, there 
isn't anything like this that 

313
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,600
I've seen in Israel So, stop 
striving for the things of the 

314
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,500
flesh. 
Stop thinking that you will be 

315
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:08,400
at a distance with this crisis 
in comparison to so and so 

316
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,700
because of superficial things 
know, the Lord is willing to 

317
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:15,300
open his arms up to those who 
have simple Faith. 

318
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:20,500
Simple trust though, they lack 
maybe so much else but what a 

319
00:21:20,508 --> 00:21:23,200
gracious God we serve what a 
gracious God. 

320
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,300
Even though Jerry's, his faith 
was not a strong as the 

321
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:28,700
centurions. 
He was willing to say, let's go.

322
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:31,800
I'm coming with you. 
He went with him. 

323
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,500
That's what we read. 
That, once the request was made 

324
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,100
Christ, went with him as did the
crowd. 

325
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,500
And I look at that. 
I think Lord thank you. 

326
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,300
Whether my faith is weak or it 
is strong. 

327
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,100
You are willing to work with me.
You're willing to walk with me 

328
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:49,600
along the way. 
You are such a patient teacher, 

329
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,800
such a loving Shepherd. 
And the natural sequence of 

330
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,800
these events, supposes that we 
are now going to be transported.

331
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,900
In the next verse into gyrus is 
home and Jesus going to do this,

332
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:05,900
right? 
Not so, because everything now 

333
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:10,700
will be suddenly interrupted by 
someone else and we read back in

334
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:19,700
Mark chapter 5 verse 25. 
And there was a woman. 

335
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:26,100
Who had a discharge of blood for
12 years and who had suffered 

336
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:30,100
much under many Physicians and 
had spent all that she had and 

337
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,200
was no better but rather grew 
worse. 

338
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:36,500
She had heard the reports about 
Jesus and came up behind him in 

339
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:39,100
the crowd and touched His 
Garment. 

340
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:45,900
For she said, if I touch even 
his garments, I will be made. 

341
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:55,700
Well, this woman unnamed we're 
told suffered she suffered for 

342
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:59,000
12 years. 
Twelve years. 

343
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,700
Jesus is on his way. 
To heal a little girl. 

344
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:08,800
And in verse 42 of our chapter, 
we are told that she was 12 

345
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,700
years old. 
Jesus was on his way to hear 12 

346
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:18,300
year old girl. and his plan was 
briefly, interrupted by a woman,

347
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:24,400
who is suffering for 12 years, 
interesting similarity, And when

348
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,100
you connect those things 
together, you realize that these

349
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:31,600
two stories have something to 
make of a powerful Point, think 

350
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,800
about it. 
The number 12 here of both of 

351
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,900
these individuals are not going 
to do strange interpretations 

352
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,500
with numbers. 
It's their history. 

353
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:44,600
Their biography. 
It's their situation. 

354
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,200
Whether you're young or old, 
Whether you've been suffering 

355
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,900
for a short time for a long 
time. 

356
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,900
Whether you are a seasoned 
sinner. 

357
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,900
Or a fresh mind being awakened 
to a new world of Temptation. 

358
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:07,300
Christ, is your only hope. 
Christ is your savior still. 

359
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:11,400
He is a refuge to children and 
he is a shield to the weathered 

360
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,000
soul. 
For 12 years, we don't know how 

361
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,900
long or when this little girl 
suffered, but we know that 

362
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:21,200
during those 12 years of her 
life, there was a woman who is 

363
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,400
being beat up by a disease. 
And here's a little girl, 12 

364
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,900
years old quickly deteriorating 
and this woman who is only 

365
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,100
growing worse and worse and 
worse. 

366
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,400
And here's the point. 
Christ can come to you at the 

367
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,300
budding of life. 
Or he can rescue after you have 

368
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:44,300
over the years experimented with
one failed solution. 

369
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,400
After the other, he is the same 
savior. 

370
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:57,000
He is an available savior. 
And the biography of all kinds 

371
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,600
of suffering and sin are not 
limited to his power. 

372
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,100
What was it that she suffered 
with? 

373
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,300
What was it? 
That was eating her up. 

374
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:09,400
What was it that drained her in 
so many ways? 

375
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,200
We were told it was a discharge 
of blood, some kind of 

376
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:14,800
hemorrhaging that was deemed 
incurable. 

377
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,400
And 12 years of going from one 
physician to the next one, dr1 

378
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,500
opinion after the other, and 
they was all zeros. 

379
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Nothing. 
No hint of Hope, no clarity. 

380
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,500
You can imagine how emotionally 
exhausting this is. 

381
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:36,800
You can imagine that she was 
obviously uncomfortable with 

382
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,200
this. 
Because when she and ends up 

383
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,200
getting her healing from the 
Lord, she can feel that she was 

384
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,400
healed. 
She could feel it. 

385
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,500
It was measurable by her 
feeling, so she is afflicted. 

386
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,900
And, and just you can imagine 
how drain she was again, where 

387
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:57,700
do I go now and more than our 
emotions. 

388
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:00,100
Her bank account was brought to 
nothing as well. 

389
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,500
All the money that she invested 
all her savings, all her future 

390
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,700
to make matters worse. 
According to the law, there was 

391
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,600
so much more that was taken from
her because of her condition. 

392
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,600
Leviticus 15:25 were given 
instructions in the old Covenant

393
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,400
of what someone was to do if 
they had any kind of discharge 

394
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800
of blood. 
And let me read this verse to 

395
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,200
you to give you an idea of the 
way she had to live for 12 

396
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,000
years. 
We're told in Leviticus 1525 and

397
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,900
if a woman has a discharge of 
blood for many days not at the 

398
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:38,700
time of her menstrual impurity. 
So apart from her menstrual 

399
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:42,700
impurity or she has a discharge 
beyond the time of her impurity 

400
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:46,100
all the days of her discharge 
she shall continue and 

401
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,900
uncleanness As in the days of 
her impurity, she shall be 

402
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,100
unclean. 
Okay. 

403
00:26:53,100 --> 00:27:00,400
So you have suffering for over a
decade discomfort Psychological 

404
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,300
pain, emotional distress, and 
more than that. 

405
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:07,000
Because of her state of 
uncleanness she can't go worship

406
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,600
God in the temple. 
She can't go to the synagogue 

407
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,900
and sit and be with other 
believers. 

408
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:21,800
And be encouraged. 
More than that. 

409
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,600
If she was married, that would 
make things difficult with her 

410
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,200
own husband, why? 
Because even the very bed, she 

411
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,700
would lay on was unclean and the
seat that she would sit on would

412
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:33,400
be in pure. 
And so now, her day-to-day 

413
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,100
interactions Her conversations 
her activities are severely 

414
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:43,100
hindered because of this law. 
And so she's almost like a leper

415
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,200
ostracize and pushed away, 
people wanting to avoid her, 

416
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800
because if they come into 
contact with her, they are 

417
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,500
impure and they have to go 
through that ritual and they're 

418
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,900
not willing to have such kind of
obstacles. 

419
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:56,900
They already have enough issues 
of their own. 

420
00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:59,800
This is the kind of woman that 
we're dealing with. 

421
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,400
And though the number 12 might 
be similar her background. 

422
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,400
Could have been any more 
different than gyrus is gyrus, 

423
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,200
could go to the synagogue, he 
could go to the temple, he could

424
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000
be with the people of God, he 
could sit under the word of God.

425
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:18,700
Here's this woman just stuck in 
some dark corner day after day 

426
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:23,000
night after night. 
Trying to gather together coins 

427
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,700
to figure out, if she can make 
another appointment, maybe with 

428
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:29,300
another doctor, who can give her
some kind of some kind of light 

429
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:33,700
for a future. 
Which tells me something else 

430
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:37,100
about Jesus, though. 
She and gyrus is situation and 

431
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:40,300
background and history, and 
day-to-day living was so far. 

432
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:44,500
Apart from being similar Christ,
can restore variety of 

433
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:49,600
Brokenness A variety of 
Brokenness is not only an expert

434
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,600
with one or two sins. 
He doesn't just save those who 

435
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,100
grew up in the church but went 
away but he has a little bit 

436
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:01,900
more difficulty, saving those 
who did not grow up in the 

437
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:04,400
church. 
Know he's able to sympathize and

438
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,800
he's able to save with again a 
great roster of degeneracy in 

439
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,200
despair. 
You know what? 

440
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,400
Second Corinthians 5:17 says, 
you know, very well. 

441
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,300
Therefore if and I love this 
part, therefore if anyone is in 

442
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:25,200
Christ, He is a new creation. 
New Creation. 

443
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,300
I understand, I love. 
Praise God, for the power of the

444
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,000
Gospel, but you know what? 
Blesses me, the King James says,

445
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,700
if any man, if any any man? 
If anyone, any man at any time, 

446
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:42,800
anywhere? 
Any, who any, when If any man be

447
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600
in Christ, Christ can transform 
him. 

448
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,900
And here's a woman who is far 
apart from gyrus in so many 

449
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:55,500
ways, but she fits in the 
category of anyone, anyone. 

450
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,000
You know, this is an important 
point because you have some 

451
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,600
people who are so dysfunctional,
so broken, so battered, so beat 

452
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,100
up so scarred that they can sit 
in a place like this here 

453
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,400
message like this. 
And be like, that's nice for the

454
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,700
guy in the suit. 
Or the kid that grew up with a 

455
00:30:12,708 --> 00:30:14,600
mom and dad that brought him to 
Awana. 

456
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:18,400
I don't think this works for me 
and I'm here to tell you, it 

457
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,500
works for you. 
I'm here to tell you that he can

458
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:27,700
deliver you. and what I'm asking
you to do with the authority of 

459
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:33,300
Jesus Christ and his word Is 
what this woman did believe 

460
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:39,900
believe she heard the reports of
what Christ has done and this is

461
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:44,800
what she came to the conclusion.
If he can do it for them 

462
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:49,300
including gyrus, he can do it 
for me, he can do it for me. 

463
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,500
I want to make sure that he does
it for me. 

464
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:55,300
I'm not leaving here 
empty-handed, I'm not leaving 

465
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:59,100
here the same way that I came 
in, that kind of desperation is 

466
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:01,900
lacking in our appeal when it 
comes to the gospel. 

467
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,800
I can't put a desire in you, I 
can only present the object of 

468
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,400
what your desires should be and 
it's up to you how you flee to 

469
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,500
him. 
This woman. 

470
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Cease this Jesus. 
And there's somebody else. 

471
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,700
Now, in the crowd who is about 
to make her way towards the Lord

472
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,400
like gyrus did. 
And what we are about to read is

473
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,400
that Christ is going to do in 
One Moment. 

474
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,000
One Moment, what Physicians 
going to do over 12 years in one

475
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,800
second and one grasp of His 
Garment, that healing virtue 

476
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,800
will come and dry up and heal 
and restore what? 

477
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,500
So many remedies so many 
reports, so many investigations,

478
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:51,400
so many studies could not even 
come close to and though that is

479
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,300
true for sickness because we 
believe Jesus can heal 

480
00:31:54,300 --> 00:32:00,000
everything, he still a Healer It
is especially true when it comes

481
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,500
to your soul, my friend, the 
sickness of the Soul because of 

482
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:08,000
sin. 
One moment, it can all change 

483
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:11,100
and in the words of j.c., Ryle 
concerning the story. 

484
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:15,800
He says, what we see here is an 
emblem of the relief that the 

485
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,100
gospel confers on the soul. 
In other words, in the same way 

486
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,600
that there was immediate 
restoration and healing and 

487
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,900
wholeness in that touch for her 
body, so much more for your 

488
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:34,200
spirit so much more for that 
part that is going to be 

489
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,300
immortal so much more for that 
thing. 

490
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:40,900
That affects everything else, 
that is more important than 

491
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:42,800
anybody being healed. 
Temporarily. 

492
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:47,900
And that's the point. 
Christ, unlike these Physicians,

493
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:52,800
can do what nobody else can do 
because he created you and he 

494
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,700
died for you. 
And here's the warning, with all

495
00:32:57,700 --> 00:32:59,600
of that encouragement that's 
being showered on us this 

496
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,900
afternoon. 
Here's the warning in the same 

497
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:04,600
way that this woman was running 
from one solution to the next 

498
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,100
one. 
Possible remedy to the next, but

499
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:10,600
could not find it. 
And we're told was only getting 

500
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,900
worse, so will it be with you, 
the longer you delay coming to 

501
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:18,700
Jesus Christ? 
Why are you even waiting 

502
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:22,200
anymore? 
What are you waiting for, huh? 

503
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:25,500
What do you like, what is it 
that you're looking forward to 

504
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,400
so much that you think Jesus is 
going to interrupt, you have 

505
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,800
some pigs that you're worried to
lose. 

506
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:35,100
What is it? 
When will you stop chasing vein 

507
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:36,900
Idols? 
Vein philosophies. 

508
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:43,500
Vain pleasures. 
Silly solutions, that attempt to

509
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:48,200
bring you into a place of 
wholeness and completion and 

510
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,500
sense of purpose and love. 
When will you just give up save 

511
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:57,400
your time, save your resources, 
save your energy and fall at the

512
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:03,000
foot of the cross. 
And in one moment what you've 

513
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,800
been chasing around, like a 
chicken with its head cut off, 

514
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,100
what you've been spending what 
you've been trying to escape 

515
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:13,800
from what you've been trying to 
run to a runaway, whatever the 

516
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,300
case may be right here. 
Is your answer. 

517
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,199
So stop sticking your head in 
empty cisterns and trying to 

518
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,900
draw some kind of value from it.
When the Fountain of Life is 

519
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:29,800
gushing forth, exactly what you 
need and it's right there before

520
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,000
you That's what this woman shows
us to some extent, I'm sure. 

521
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:37,800
And look what she says in verse 
28. 

522
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:43,699
For she said, if I, if I touch 
even his garments, I'll be made.

523
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:47,300
Well, now, this is quick 
thinking, this is a strategy on 

524
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:50,400
the spot. 
Remember, Jesus is making his 

525
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,000
way to gyrus is home, and there 
is a crowd that's pressing 

526
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,900
against him. 
And this woman is there, I don't

527
00:34:56,900 --> 00:34:58,600
know if she's in the third row, 
the fifth rotten. 

528
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,300
Oh, she's pushed all the way in 
the back, but she singled out 

529
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:04,900
where Jesus was, and this is 
what she came to in her and her 

530
00:35:04,900 --> 00:35:06,800
thinking. 
If I just just going to grab 

531
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,400
him. 
But you got a link that with 

532
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,600
what we, what we learn here in 
verse 27. 

533
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:17,300
She had heard the reports about 
Jesus and came up behind him. 

534
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,900
So I don't think I'm going to 
touch him, but I'm going to have

535
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:23,200
to come behind him. 
Why not before him? 

536
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,800
Why not face them? 
Like gyrus did well? 

537
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,700
Because of what she has. 
It's too risky. 

538
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:34,400
She can't touch anyone. 
She can't be in close proximity 

539
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,600
to anyone. 
And she stands before Jesus and 

540
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,600
explains her situation then that
might just turn him off and push

541
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,500
him away and they just move on. 
And so I'm just going to make 

542
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:50,700
this a drive-thru experience. 
I'm just going to go by grab him

543
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,600
and then just whisk away into 
the crowd and he won't even know

544
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,100
about it, how cute he won't know
about it. 

545
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:02,800
This is her plan and guess what?
It worked. 

546
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,800
It worked verse 29 and 
immediately the flow of blood 

547
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,700
dried up and she felt in her 
body that she was healed of her 

548
00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:16,700
disease. 
This is a unique story for many 

549
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:21,600
reasons, and one of those 
reasons is how Jesus responds 

550
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,000
and his reaction here. 
Stands out from many other 

551
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,500
miracles. because we read here 
in verse 30 and Jesus, 

552
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:38,700
perceiving and himself, That 
power had gone out from him. 

553
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:42,300
That's an interesting 
commentary. 

554
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:50,000
Don't confuse those words with 
the notion that Jesus can be 

555
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,700
depleted of Supernatural 
ability, like a battery with 

556
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:57,500
lose power. 
The more you use it, None of us 

557
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:58,600
in here, I'm sure. 
Whatever. 

558
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,500
Think that though, we exert the 
power of the Sun, that that 

559
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:07,200
great ball of light and heat is 
ever exhausted of its strength. 

560
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,800
Christ. 
Here is infinite in his power 

561
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,700
and his might and His glory and 
his strength. 

562
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,400
Yes he is human and there are 
other limitations there but when

563
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,000
it comes to the virtue that 
heals he is Limitless. 

564
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,900
What we're being told here, is 
that Jesus was now made aware. 

565
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Not that he was unaware of what 
was going to happen, but he's 

566
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,400
going to express that he was now
aware of what this lady did. 

567
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,300
And he's not going to let her 
get away with it. 

568
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,100
And so, he knew power had gone 
out from him and he does 

569
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:51,100
something right after 
immediately turned about in the 

570
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,600
crowd and said, who touched my 
garments? 

571
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,900
Did Jesus not know? 
Oh he knew then why ask the 

572
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:04,700
question? 
It's not issued from ignorance. 

573
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,300
Jesus is asking a question. 
Because he's implementing 

574
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:12,600
something that we've seen God do
from beginning to end in this 

575
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,600
book. 
Are you not familiar with God's 

576
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,500
implementation of rhetorical 
questions? 

577
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:22,300
Even from the beginning asking 
Adam where he was, God knew 

578
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:27,200
exactly where Adam was. 
And Jesus, who is God knows 

579
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:33,000
exactly who touched his garments
because the question is not to 

580
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,600
receive Clarity, it's to 
encourage confession. 

581
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,100
Who touched my garments? 
Who touched my garlands? 

582
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,500
And now we see. 
That this woman. 

583
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Has been identified to Jesus, at
least, and he's not doing this 

584
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,500
to embarrass her. 
He's not doing this to try to 

585
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:02,300
shame her or scorn, her Nothing 
of the sort. 

586
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:05,300
It's actually a very, very 
beautiful picture of the heart 

587
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:08,700
of Christ for us. 
Think about it. 

588
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:13,400
Jesus is not interested, this is
so profound to me. 

589
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,000
He's not interested in 
dispensing, his power to 

590
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,300
individuals without them coming 
to him personally, the very 

591
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:26,400
design of his power that it 
would draw you to himself. 

592
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,800
You know I've met some people 
throughout my walk with the Lord

593
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:38,400
that have no problem coming to 
Jesus with a problem or to 

594
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:44,100
hoping that he will fix it and 
only making their way back to 

595
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:46,900
their lives. 
And going about as though 

596
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,100
nothing had happened and like 
this woman they just want to 

597
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:54,000
touch Jesus from behind. 
They don't want to see him 

598
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,200
face-to-face. 
They don't want that Fellowship.

599
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,300
They don't want that intimacy. 
They don't want that 

600
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,000
relationship. 
They just want something from 

601
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,400
him. 
Let me touch him. 

602
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,400
Let me grab it. 
My kid is in trouble. 

603
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,800
My finances are in trouble. 
My body is in trouble. 

604
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:10,200
I heard about this Jesus. 
Let me just take what he has to 

605
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,800
offer and move about my life. 
That's not what God wants 

606
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,700
though. 
I've seen it with my own eyes. 

607
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:20,300
You're saying, how does this 
miracle really? 

608
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:25,500
I've seen it with my own eyes 
Let me just touch His Garment 

609
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:29,100
and go about my way but Christ 
wants your heart. 

610
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:33,300
You want something from Christ. 
You know what Christ wants you 

611
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,100
You do you want Christ? 
That's the whole difference. 

612
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:41,400
I'm telling you, what Christ 
wants? 

613
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,700
He wants you. 
You want something from him, or 

614
00:40:43,707 --> 00:40:50,200
do you want him? 
That's the gospel coming to God,

615
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:55,100
not escaping this, or inheriting
that God. 

616
00:40:56,300 --> 00:41:00,800
Jesus pauses on his quest to 
Jerry's his home. 

617
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:06,900
Who touched my garments? 
The disciples didn't understand.

618
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:08,800
There's a lot of things that the
disciples didn't understand, but

619
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,000
let me read if you don't believe
that. 

620
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,500
This is what Jesus about, let me
read to you, what he prayed for 

621
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,800
you. 
Let me read what he prayed for 

622
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,400
you and John 17:20 for you. 
Don't even have to turn there 

623
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,100
unless you want to highlight it.
But I want you to give every 

624
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:27,700
faculty of your being over to 
what I'm about to say, and 

625
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:32,400
really chew on it and understand
what Jesus is asking the father 

626
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:39,800
for in John 17, 24. 
Father, I desire that they also 

627
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:47,200
whom you have, given me may be 
with me where I am. 

628
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:55,900
To see my glory that you have 
given me because you loved me 

629
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:58,000
before the foundation of the 
world. 

630
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,800
Father, I'm asking that those 
that you have given me. 

631
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:12,100
Oh, I want them to be with me. 
Where I am. where I am but then 

632
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:15,500
he speaks about that, they may 
see my glory, so he's obviously 

633
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:20,900
referring to the Future where he
will be There's something of the

634
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:24,700
present to, right. 
And that's a mysterious thing 

635
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:26,600
that we don't have time to 
unpack. 

636
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,500
Where I am. 
I want them to see my glory. 

637
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:33,800
I wanted to be near me. 
Father, that's my request. 

638
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,500
That's how I'm ending. 
This High Priestly prayer. 

639
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
And there is not one request of 
the father of a deny, the son. 

640
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:45,500
You know what that means. 
It means that if you have been 

641
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:50,900
given, if you are his then you 
will be with him to see his 

642
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:56,500
glory forever and ever. 
I can't wait for that day. 

643
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,700
He wants us. 
He prayed to the father and the 

644
00:43:03,707 --> 00:43:07,800
Holy Spirit recorded it. 
So that when you ever doubt, the

645
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,200
reality of his love, you would 
realize the sun. 

646
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,300
Pray to the father for me to be 
with him. 

647
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:15,400
And the father will never deny 
the son. 

648
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,700
Therefore, I will not be denied 
and I will be his forever and 

649
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:26,600
ever and ever and ever, who 
touched my garments? 

650
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,700
And the intensity of his desire 
for her to approach and to 

651
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:38,800
confess what had taken place is 
seen back at verse 32 of Mark 

652
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,800
chapter 5. 
And he looked around to see who 

653
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,800
had done it. 
Remember gyrus his daughter 

654
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,400
needs a touch. 
And yet this woman though, 

655
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,200
everyone is pressing against the
Lord, trying to get a piece of 

656
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,800
him, here's a woman who grabs 
ahold of them walks away. 

657
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,600
Jesus stops in his tracks. 
Ask the question and more than 

658
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,600
that. 
He does not move forward. 

659
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:14,900
He looks intensely for her. 
So here's this woman, you can 

660
00:44:14,900 --> 00:44:20,300
imagine her heart sinking to her
gut her face being flushed. 

661
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Remember, she can't touch 
anyone. 

662
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:28,700
And not only this. 
Now Jesus is making a public 

663
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:32,800
scene here. 
So yeah, she didn't just touch 

664
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,700
Jesus, teach she touched a lot 
of people. 

665
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
And if they find out what 
happened, there going to be a 

666
00:44:39,008 --> 00:44:40,500
lot of upset people with this 
woman. 

667
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:46,100
So he looks for so, you know 
what, that tells me, everything 

668
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:49,500
is at a standstill. 
Everything is at a standstill. 

669
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:51,100
Now, people are looking at 
Jesus. 

670
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:53,100
Who's the center of attention? 
He's leading the pack. 

671
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,300
And now they are looking where 
he's looking, because clearly 

672
00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:59,400
something must have been so 
important enough for him to stop

673
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,300
and say something that happened.
Well what happened? 

674
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:07,400
Let's see. 
But Christ pause, here's more 

675
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,900
than that, you know what it is. 
It's Jesus here. 

676
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:16,400
Also preparing the masses. 
To hear the testimony of this 

677
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,300
woman who would share what the 
Lord had done for her. 

678
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,200
You see what the Lord is asking 
here. 

679
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,500
When he says, who touched my 
garments and when he looks for 

680
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:33,800
her is more than just her coming
to him and him reassuring her of

681
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,000
something about who she is. 
That is completely relational 

682
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,100
know. 
The Lord also wants her in an 

683
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:45,800
indirect way to publicly confess
the mercy and she experienced 

684
00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:52,500
Jesus. 
He's not interested. 

685
00:45:53,500 --> 00:46:00,900
And secret disciples. 
Lord is worthy of honor and 

686
00:46:00,908 --> 00:46:06,600
Glory. and when he does 
something in your life, He is 

687
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,100
worth you being unashamed to 
tell about it. 

688
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,200
Who touched my garments? 
This type of said, Lord, 

689
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:20,000
everyone is here. 
Touching you. 

690
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,100
What do you mean? 
Who touched? 

691
00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:24,200
You know someone touched me. 
Isn't it amazing that we can be 

692
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,700
in a group like this? 
But there's something about 

693
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:30,500
faith that touches the heart of 
God. 

694
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,600
The presence of people around 
the name of Christ, the word of 

695
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,900
Christ songs about Christ does 
not automatically mean that his 

696
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:40,500
heart is touched in the same 
way. 

697
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,400
As the one who has a heart that 
realizes I need him. 

698
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,400
I Look to You, Lord. 
I come to you. 

699
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:52,100
Someone touched me. 
We everybody's touching know 

700
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:58,400
someone touched me. 
He looks. 

701
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,900
Do you see it? 
Christ is not interested in our 

702
00:47:01,900 --> 00:47:06,000
testimonies to remain private 
must be willing to confess what 

703
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,500
he has done. 
Salvation, may occur in secret, 

704
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:16,200
but the story about it, 
shouldn't What is this woman 

705
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:21,300
going to do? 
She comes trembling, she comes 

706
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:27,100
afraid. 
Some would say because she's 

707
00:47:27,100 --> 00:47:29,700
worried about sharing what had 
happened to her and what she had

708
00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:33,200
as a condition or maybe it was 
because she realized that this 

709
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,000
is not just a prophet. 
This is not just some special 

710
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,100
messenger of God that comes 
after a few Generations. 

711
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:50,700
How did he know I touched him? 
It shows, she comes. so fearful 

712
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,200
And Jesus assures us that she's 
been made well. 

713
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,000
But you know, I couldn't help 
but think with all of this that 

714
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,400
has happened as wonderful as it 
was for this woman. 

715
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:10,600
You remember who we started with
right gyrus Gyrus, this was 

716
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,700
about gyrus. 
This is what gyrus is little 

717
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:19,500
daughter and she's dying and 
every minute counts so now let's

718
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:23,500
put our ourselves in the sandals
of gyrus. 

719
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:27,600
Lord, my little daughter is 
dying. 

720
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,900
I need you to come. 
I need you to heal her. 

721
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,800
I know you can do it. 
Please, I will come. 

722
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,900
Yes. 
And the Lord makes way in the 

723
00:48:35,908 --> 00:48:37,900
crowd comes. 
And I wonder if Joe was a little

724
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:39,800
nervous because when you have a 
crowd like that there's traffic 

725
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,500
and things get slower traffic on
top of that. 

726
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:49,200
Now, this woman comes and 
obviously does something and 

727
00:48:49,900 --> 00:48:54,800
Jesus stops. 
We're going to look at gyrus 

728
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,200
more next week. 
Time doesn't serve as well in 

729
00:48:57,207 --> 00:49:06,400
terms of exploring everything 
here, but if I was gyrus Who 

730
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:12,500
touched my garments? 
My daughter is dying. 

731
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,300
More than that and he's looking 
everybody stop. 

732
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,600
You see what Jesus said to this 
woman? 

733
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,500
I wonder if it did something to 
gyrus. 

734
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:38,300
Verse 34. and he said to her 
daughter, Your faith has made 

735
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:41,400
you. 
Well, go in peace and be healed 

736
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:48,300
of your disease. 
Gyrus is experiencing some delay

737
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:51,000
Jesus. 
Do you not see the urgency of 

738
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,000
the matter? 
How is it that you're stopping? 

739
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,100
This is not the time to stop. 
It's time to go. 

740
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:58,600
We got to go in another gear. 
Let's go Lord. 

741
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,100
And how true is it? 
That the Masters Pace in? 

742
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:06,900
The dealings of our lives are 
often not in complete agreement 

743
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:12,800
with our wishes. 
But I wonder if verse 34 did 

744
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,100
something to gyrus, he said to 
her daughter. 

745
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:20,500
Oh, now we have two daughters in
the story. 

746
00:50:23,900 --> 00:50:27,400
It all started with my little 
daughter and this scene is 

747
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,500
ending with Jesus addressing 
this mature woman, stranger 

748
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:36,600
unnamed. 
And with such sympathy and with 

749
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,300
a delicate voice, I'm sure he 
says daughter. 

750
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:44,100
Not daughter of Abraham, not 
daughter of Jerusalem. 

751
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,600
You'd be hard-pressed to find 
Jesus addressing anybody 

752
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,400
directly as daughter in the 
Gospels. 

753
00:50:55,600 --> 00:51:01,900
Daughter. your faith has made 
you, well, And I wonder if that 

754
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:07,400
statement translated to the 
crowd and maybe even gyrus, it's

755
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,900
obvious that this Jesus loves 
this woman as a father, does his

756
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:16,600
daughter? 
He does. 

757
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:22,600
In fact, the gospel adopts us. 
Causes sons and daughters. 

758
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:26,700
And here's gyrus was he nervous?
I don't know. 

759
00:51:26,700 --> 00:51:28,000
Was he anxious? 
I don't know. 

760
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Was he critical like the 
disciples were for a moment in 

761
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:36,400
verse 31 doesn't say anything. 
But what kind of hush did it 

762
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:42,400
bring to his soul? 
I wonder when he heard Jesus as 

763
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,700
a man who wanted his little 
daughter to be healed addressing

764
00:51:45,700 --> 00:51:48,800
this woman who has been healed 
daughter. 

765
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,400
The great love of Jesus 
compassion of Jesus. 

766
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:56,400
I have a real daughter by Blood,
who needs to be touched? 

767
00:51:56,500 --> 00:52:03,400
Who is this woman any relation? 
No relatives, no upbringing, No 

768
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,600
Stranger, but my love for her, 
my affection for her, my 

769
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:13,300
compassion for her, my desire 
for her daughter. your faith has

770
00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:19,900
made you, well, You see what 
Jesus wants from you. 

771
00:52:19,908 --> 00:52:21,300
He doesn't just want to heal 
you. 

772
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,000
He doesn't want to just get you 
out of debt. 

773
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,100
Didn't want to just make you 
sleep better at night. 

774
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:29,800
Daughter. 
See if she would have just went 

775
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,800
on, she would have got healing. 
But after she came before Christ

776
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:36,700
and says what we're told here, 
that she came before, Jesus and 

777
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:39,400
verse 33 and told him the whole 
truth. 

778
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,300
When you come and complete 
honesty and transparency, and 

779
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:46,100
humility with your sin with your
condition. 

780
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:50,000
With what you've done with what 
you have and done here is the 

781
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,200
assurance that Christ brings to 
you the same for this woman 

782
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,800
daughter. 
Now, we have relationship now, I

783
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,000
see you in a. 
So now I am affirming to you 

784
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,200
that you are mine. 
You're mine. 

785
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,900
And it'll be next week where we 
see Jesus from this place going 

786
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:12,600
to gyrus his little daughter and
we will learn so much more about

787
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,700
the same scene as as we honor 
the text in the way delivers 

788
00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:21,900
itself. 
This complicated overlapping 

789
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Crossroads moment. 
Let's pray. 

790
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,200
Thank you. 
Jesus name above all names. 

791
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,900
King above all Kings. 
Lord of all Lords. 

792
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:07,500
Lord, we are overwhelmed by Your
Word. because it is eternal and 

793
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:12,600
it is the very Breath of God and
we have felt the life-giving 

794
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,900
source that it is this 
afternoon, as we sat under it, 

795
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:27,200
Much was said. 
And Lord every word of it was 

796
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,700
honey to our lips, more precious
than gold more valuable than 

797
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:36,300
silver. 
And Lord, we ask that in this 

798
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:38,900
moment, we would be able to 
worship you in light of the 

799
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,200
great love that you exemplified 
in this. 

800
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,500
And this report of Holy 
scripture, we pray for the 

801
00:54:45,500 --> 00:54:49,200
person. 
That like this woman though, 

802
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,100
perhaps not for the same disease
for a greater disease, the 

803
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:57,400
disease of sin. 
Is running around from one 

804
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,100
website to the next from one job
to the other. 

805
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:03,600
From one country to the other 
country, from some group of 

806
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,500
friends, from one boyfriend to 
the other girlfriend, whatever 

807
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:10,400
it is. 
For that person in this place. 

808
00:55:11,900 --> 00:55:16,700
May their icy after hearing the 
report of Jesus where their 

809
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:22,300
source of Salvation is. 
And for the believer who has 

810
00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:26,300
experienced you, but is ashamed 
for whatever reason to make it 

811
00:55:26,300 --> 00:55:30,600
public to be bold to get 
baptized. 

812
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:34,700
May they see that you are 
worthy. 

813
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Of recognition. 
And Lord as we are prepared, 

814
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,800
even for next week, when we will
look at the delay of gyrus is 

815
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:52,300
request. 
Maybe understand that your 

816
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:57,800
delays have great purpose. 
And that you are still for us 

817
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,300
even though we may not see 
things. 

818
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:02,300
Play out before us the way we 
desire. 

819
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,100
Again Lord, we are overwhelmed 
by your goodness. 

820
00:56:08,300 --> 00:56:13,200
In love with you. 
Madly in love with you and if 

821
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,800
our hearts have become dry, 
Lord, let the fire of the word 

822
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:21,900
consume. 
All the dross, all the ice that 

823
00:56:21,908 --> 00:56:25,800
has been collected on our 
affections for you and let it 

824
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:31,100
melt, let it all melt here, as 
we sing in light of your 

825
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:32,500
awesome. 
Truth. 

826
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,500
In Jesus name, we pray Amen, and
amen. 

827
00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:39,200
Hallelujah. 
Indeed. 

828
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:41,100
Let's stand in worship.
