Title: Faith that raised the dead
Contents, dear saints! When Jesus returned to Capernaum, many people welcomed him. Because the daughter of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, was dying, and he was eagerly waiting for Jesus to come and heal him.
First, Healing a woman suffering from bleeding (Luke 8:43-48).
Menstruation was also considered unclean in the Law. Not to mention diseases that constantly bleed (Leviticus 15). If an unclean person comes into contact with other people, they will become unclean, so even if they wash their clothes and wash their body, they will be clean after a day. Therefore, unclean people should not go to crowded places so as not to harm others. This woman had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years, and even after visiting the doctors who said Yong-ha, she could not get better. Hearing that Jesus had come to Capernaum, a large crowd gathered, but to touch even the end of Jesus' robe, he slipped through the crowd and approached. Jesus' steps must have been quicker because the leader of the synagogue wanted to take Jesus with him in a hurry, but it usually takes determination and effort to approach Jesus and touch his clothes, passing through men's gaps with a weakened body after 12 years of bleeding. no. Belief begets action. Although Jesus was busy walking, he stopped and praised the woman's faith.
Second, raising the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue (Luke 8:49-56).
Dear saint! The bleeding woman and the daughter of the synagogue leader had a new life by faith. Even if it seems impossible with human power, faith works miracles. -Amen-
