Get the appPoints of View: Jairus and the Bleeding WomanSample
Matthew, Mark, and Luke all tell the story of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. This double miracle delivers a happy ending for all, but not without some pretty difficult moments. The story is virtually the same in all three gospels. Mark and Luke include many details, while Matthew is much less wordy, only sharing the significant points.
Throngs of people surround Jesus on his way to heal Jairus' 12-year-old daughter, who is critically ill and expected to die at any moment.
While this is going on, a woman who has been battling her own illness for 12 years reaches out to grab her own healing.
In the time it took for Jesus to deal with this woman, word comes that Jairus' daughter has died.
Of course, we know that Jesus healed them both, but I think there might be more to discover.
In this plan, we will dive deeper, looking at the story from the perspective of those involved and finding the truth and grace we may have overlooked.
About this Plan
Jairus and the woman described as having an issue of blood weren't just characters in a story. They were real people, full of strong feelings, deep thoughts, and desperation only God could heal. Let's explore what they may have been thinking and feeling during the incredible moment they shared. We may find that they weren't so different from us. Perhaps we can find ourselves in their stories.
