Luke 8:40-56

Listen to Luke 8:40-56
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 And there came a man named Ja'irus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus' feet he besought him to come to his house,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him.
43 And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one,
44 came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.
45 And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"
46 But Jesus said, "Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me."
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
49 While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more."
50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well."
51 And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child.
52 And all were weeping and bewailing her; but he said, "Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping."
53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But taking her by the hand he called, saying, "Child, arise."
55 And her spirit returned, and she got up at once; and he directed that something should be given her to eat.
56 And her parents were amazed; but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Jesus Can Make You Whole Part 2
Jesus Can Make You Whole Part 2
John Randall

Maybe today you’re in what appears to be a hopeless situation.  When the outlook is bleak what do you do?  Today on a Daily Walk we’ll meet a couple of people in that very place.  One dear lady was broke, very sick and getting worse, and the doctors don’t have the answer!  The second is a man who has just received the news that his daughter has died.  I think you’d agree it doesn’t get much worse than that!  But both made the right decision in turning to Jesus.  Let’s see how the Lord came through for them and can still do so today!  

Jesus Can Make You Whole Part 1
Jesus Can Make You Whole Part 1

A severe medical problem, broke, an outcast and out of options… that describes the woman we’ll meet today on a Daily Walk.  And when she had an encounter with Jesus her life dramatically changed!  Maybe you can relate to the woman I just described on some level?  Whether it’s an incurable disease that you’re faced with, or financial ruin, or you feel as though you’re a social outcast… Jesus will welcome you with open arms! And there’s no one outside of His reach.  We’ll be encouraged by that today as we join John Randall in Luke chapter eight.
