The Urgent (Mark 5:21-24)
- Jesus’ reputation was growing so much that even some of his opponents sought Him in desperation.
- Devastating crises are often needed for us to submit ourselves before Jesus.
- Jesus is eager to respond to humble pleas for help.
The Inconvenient (Mark 5:25-34)
- Even when our situation isn’t as dire as another’s, years of suffering can make it feel that way.
- The proper direction of your faith is more important at first than the full development of it.
- If your view of God is not of a caring Father who shows deep concern for your needs, you have mistaken His identity.
The Undeterred (Mark 5:35-43)
- God has never been late.
- Jesus will not be deterred by anyone’s status, gender, race, or social standing.
- Jesus is able to conquer demons (5:1-20), disease (5:21-34), and even death (5:35-43).
- Jesus is available to save men (5:1-20), women (5:21-34), and even children (5:35-43).
- Our only hope to be clean before God is because Jesus takes our uncleanness upon Himself.
- Regardless of how severe your situation is, Jesus is willing and able to handle both the urgent and inconvenient.
What do you humbly need to bring before Jesus today?
