Looking closely at Jesus and the two miracles presented to us today in Mark 5:21-43, we see his sensitivity and compassion on "the big screen." In I-Max proportion, we see him curious about who touched his garment, but he does not renege on the cure of the woman with the hemorrhage, nor scold her, just merely wanted to see her face to face so he could tell her that it was her faith that saved her. When he hears that the daughter of Jairus has already died before he could get to her side, he doesn't brush off the news, with "Oh, well too late. Nothing we can do now." No, seeing the grief this news must have caused the loving father, he proceeds directly to the home, knowing that he has power not only over illness, but of death as well, brings her back to life and gives her to her parents.
This is the Jesus we love, to whom we pray, a man who knows us, feels for us, can help us and so wills. Why doubt? Why fear? Why not approach the Healer and expect his loving response?
The woman and Jairus did.
