12:00

The brothers pressed through. Jesus

12:03

and Jarius walked close behind.

12:06

The crowd thrashed against a small group of

12:08

men to the city. Move! Make

12:11

way! We need to get through! They

12:13

pushed through the crowd, driving their legs

12:15

forward against them. Master, stay

12:17

close behind us. These people will trample

12:20

you if we aren't careful. Jesus was

12:22

on a mission. A

12:24

little girl was sick and needing his

12:26

healing touch. But

12:29

the crowd of fans wouldn't relent. They

12:32

were like thrashing waves against the

12:34

shore. Peter cursed

12:36

under his breath and growled. Jesus

12:38

needs to get through! Step aside!

12:41

Peter was a force to be reckoned with. Years

12:45

of hauling nets and fishing boats had hardened

12:47

his shoulders. Yet

12:49

even he was growing exhausted against the

12:51

weight of the crowd. My

12:53

home is not far from here, Jesus. We

12:56

are almost there. Jarius was

12:58

visibly uneasy. He

13:00

feared that his mission to find Jesus would

13:02

rob him of his final moments with his

13:05

daughter. But desperation

13:07

and a father's heart compelled

13:10

him. Even though

13:12

he was a member of their religious

13:14

system that despised Jesus, Jarius

13:17

knew in his heart that

13:19

nobody else could help. Lord,

13:22

I place your hogs on. The group

13:24

weaved through the city streets, laced with

13:26

people. The crowd

13:29

was like an overflowing river after

13:31

a heavy rain thrashing against the

13:33

banks. They pulled

13:35

and grabbed at Jesus, trying to get

13:37

his attention. Jesus,

13:40

however, was on a mission. This

13:43

little girl was his singular

13:45

focus, the purpose by

13:47

which he marched. She

13:50

turned back to the crowd and

13:52

saw Jesus rounding the corner. He

13:56

was only a few hundred feet away from

13:58

her, but he ceased.

14:00

so far. Her

14:02

heart began to pound and

14:05

her hands started to tremble. She

14:08

knew Jesus could heal her. Her

14:11

cure was only a few paces

14:13

away. Would

14:15

she endure the pain and shame to

14:18

find redemption? She

14:21

lifted herself, blood dripping from her

14:23

trembling legs. With

14:25

a force more powerful than the pain

14:27

compelling her, she moved

14:29

forward. Her

14:32

heart pumped slow, fatigued,

14:35

sweat dripped down her brow. Her

14:38

red shawl and scarves made her

14:40

stand out in the crowd, but

14:42

still she had to

14:44

push through to pass. The

14:48

crowd wouldn't move for her. She

14:50

had to muscle her way through. She

14:53

pressed with all her might, burying

14:55

her pain deep down. Just

14:58

the hem of his robe. If

15:03

I could just reach his garment, then

15:05

I'll be healed. Her vision

15:08

went speckled at the edges. Her

15:10

body swayed. Faint, she

15:12

wanted to fall to her knees, let

15:14

the stampede of the crowd overrun her.

15:17

But this was her one chance.

15:20

Her chance to be healed by the

15:22

man they said was the great physician,

15:25

the very hand of God.

15:29

They took all the strength inside her to

15:31

move through the last bit of the crowd

15:34

and she pushed through the swarm of them

15:37

until she caught a glimpse of him and

15:40

lunged, falling on her knees. And

15:43

in the briefest moment, she

15:45

caught the hem of his garment, tan,

15:47

fresh, crisp linen, and

15:50

fell face first into the dirt. The

15:54

crowd rotated forward around her, all

15:57

the weight entumaled with it. She

16:00

lay still in the dirt, legs

16:03

curled up and arms covering

16:05

her head. But

16:08

something was different. In

16:11

that instant, her insides

16:13

knit together. The

16:16

power of God pulled flesh into

16:18

flesh, and her

16:20

pain dissolved. But

16:24

in the center of the crowd, Jesus

16:26

stopped. He had

16:28

felt something, then he turned. Who

16:31

touched me? Beside him,

16:33

Peter and John exchanged a look. You

16:36

see this crowd pressing in on you. It

16:39

could have been anyone. Eliana came

16:41

forward. Tears of joy

16:44

and embarrassment streamed down her cheeks.

16:48

She felt relieved that she was healed, but

16:51

ashamed that she had been caught. She

16:55

knelt at his feet, trembling, half

16:58

from fear and half from

17:00

elation and her healing. She

17:04

kept her head lowered. Please do not

17:06

be angry with me, Lord. It

17:08

was me. I knew if I could

17:11

only touch the edge of your coat, I

17:13

would be healed. I knew

17:15

I... The words trailed off

17:17

as Eliana felt her body again. Her

17:20

cramps, her fatigue, her discomfort,

17:23

all gone. She

17:26

felt whole again. She felt

17:29

clean. It

17:32

was all so overwhelming. She

17:35

wasn't sure whether to jump for joy

17:37

or run and hide. Jesus

17:43

softened, and the crowd became

17:45

silent. Jesus'

17:48

urgent mission could wait. Before

17:51

him was a broken and lonely

17:53

child in need of attention. He

17:57

knelt to her and met her eye-line.

18:00

Daughter," Eliana looked up

18:02

at Jesus, eyes watering with

18:04

sorrow and delight. His

18:08

eyes were warm and kind.

18:12

It had been a long time since someone had

18:14

looked at her without

18:16

disgust or fear. He

18:19

placed a hand on her shoulder. Your

18:21

faith has made you well, he helped

18:24

lift Eliana to her feet and

18:26

smiled. Go in peace, Eliana

18:29

finally allowed herself to breathe. She

18:33

sighed and the weight of 12 years

18:38

fell like bricks off her shoulders.

18:42

She backed away slowly, finding

18:45

it difficult to release her gaze from the

18:47

one who healed her. She

18:51

turned and walked. Her

18:54

strides quickly turned to skips and those skips

18:56

turned into dancing. She

19:01

was finally free, not

19:03

just of her ailment, but the chronic

19:06

shame. The chronic shame, personality.

19:17

19:21

direction. The

baby's companions Biden's adjusts her.

19:32

We aren't far. Come, let's

19:34

keep moving. However, their momentum was

19:36

halted when two men came

19:39

from Jerry's household. They

19:41

were dressed in black, eyes

19:44

swollen from hours of tears. Jerry's

19:47

knew what they were going to say before

19:50

they opened their mouths. Jairus was

19:53

so sorry. She's gone.

30:56

healed many throughout his ministry, but only

30:58

a fraction of them are recorded in

31:00

detail throughout the Gospels. And

31:02

while they're all noteworthy and play a

31:04

significant part in developing our understanding of

31:06

Jesus' character, few stand out

31:08

quite like this. This

31:10

miracle includes Jesus bringing somebody

31:12

back to life. We

31:15

can shake our heads and scoff at

31:17

some of Jesus' miracles, but I want

31:19

you to consider for a moment the

31:21

marvel that is scientific innovation. We can

31:23

rebuild muscles, we can cure diseases, we

31:26

can even restore sight in some instances.

31:29

Why is it so absurd to think that

31:31

these things are possible? But

31:33

something we as people can never manufacture

31:35

is the ability to bring somebody back

31:37

from death. If there was anything

31:39

that was a definitive way to show that Jesus

31:42

was the Son of God, it was

31:44

by giving life and showing beyond a

31:46

shadow of a doubt that Jesus can

31:48

conquer death itself. While Jairus

31:50

may not have known at the time

31:52

he came to Jesus that this would be

31:55

the miracle he would perform, Jesus did

31:57

perform it. If we didn't know the end
