God Who Heals (Pastor John Huh)

Our God loves those who are suffering but He does not enjoy our
suffering. When we get closer to God's heart, we get to see how
much God cares for those who are hurt and desires to heal
us.

Mark 5:21-43
21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other
side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was
by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named
Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.
23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is
dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be
healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.


A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a
woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve
years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of
many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting
better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she
came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28
because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be
healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt
in her body that she was freed from her suffering.


30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from
him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my
clothes?”


31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his
disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”


32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came
and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole
truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed
you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”


35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from
the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is
dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”


36 Overhearing[a] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t
be afraid; just believe.”


37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James
and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the
home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people
crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them,
“Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but
asleep.” 40 But they laughed at him.


After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother
and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child
was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha
koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around
(she was twelve years old). At this they were completely
astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone
know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
