SERIES: The Great Adventure: Change! (Mark)
TITLE: Waiting For Change
Scripture: Mark 5:21-43
Seen while researching: “I am planning on having a nervous breakdown. I have earned it…I deserve it…I have worked hard for it…and nobody’s going to keep me from having it!”
I. WAITING THROUGH A DELAY
Twice in verses 29 & 34 her disease is called a plague. The word used is (whip). This disease:
1. Drove away her strength as it sapped her life’s blood
2. Deprived her of (motherhood).
3. It was embarrassing (socially).
4. It (ostracized) her from other people.
5. It barred her from (worship) in the temple.
According to Leviticus 15 she lives with a double whammy.
The word for “touched” speaks of using force. More like grasped or clutched.
Why did Jesus call her out?
II. WAITING THROUGH AN INTERRUPTION
Some helpful things for us to see in this exchange:
1) The father recognized his (need) for change. [v.22]
2) He asks Jesus for a (life change). [v.23]
3) He was an (advocate) for change. [v.23,36-37]
4) He (waits) on Jesus for change. [vv.38-43]
Jairus learned a valuable lesson because of his (trust).
