Seeking the Help of Jesus.

Mark 5:21 & 22
"21 and when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto Him: and He was nigh unto the sea.
22 and, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet,"

We are all "Children of The Heavenly Father." So, are studying YOUNG people in the Holy Scriptures. We have studied: "A Child Like Faith." "Sibling Rivalry." And, "Growing in Body and Spirit." This week we will be reading about an event of "Healing and Hope." Throughout the Holy Bible we read ASTONISHING stories! Things unfold in such a way that they GRABBED the attention of everyone involved. We might even realize that all these events are there to guide our attention to the event of all events; Jesus Christ's resurrection!

We return to the Gospel of Mark, chapter five, this is right after Jesus has healed the demon possessed man and in the midst of the event we are focused on the woman who touched Jesus' garment is healed! There is healing everywhere Jesus goes! He is a big deal.

In verse twenty-two; "and, behold, there cometh one of the RULERS of the SYNAGOGUE, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet," As one of the local synagogue leaders Jiarus had a reputation to uphold and he was desperate. His situation made him willing to do something he did not want to do. Jiarus is risking everything by seeking the help of Jesus.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
