The Dead Girl

In Matthew 918-19 23-26, Jairus comes to Jesus
to beg him about his daughters life
Jairus statement shows his faith in Jesus but
come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live
This was worth noting (in part) because of the
mans position he was a synagogue official a
group that generally hated Jesus
This is another contrast that the gospels draw,
between the humble Jesus and the official
synagogue leader.
Others were the Good Samaritan, the woman
caught in adultery, the healed lepers, and many
others
All were groups or individuals that had an onus,
something wrong with them
Jairus (chp. 9) follows the centurion in chapter
8 as an example of men of high position who had
faith in Jesus

8
The Dead Girl (contd)

As Jesus entered the officials house, the crowd
that was there was weeping
When He said that the child was only asleep, they
laughed at Him.
This indicates their lack of faith, versus the
faith of Jairus.
This is just like today even as we remain
faithful, there are those around us (even in our
own household!) that scoff at our faith.

The Sick Woman

Another example we have of faith comes from the
Sick Woman in Matthew 920-22
The woman says If I only touch His garment, I
will get well.
Question Did Jesus garment have special powers?
Answer No. The power belonged entirely to Jesus
Himself.
How do we know this? Jesus says "Daughter, take
courage your faith has made you well.
We can not depend on objects or relics for
healing, comfort, or salvation. The Lord
Himself, as we have faith in Him, is able to
save, heal, and comfort us.

10
The Two Blind Men

Another example of faith are seen in this
passage.
The Two blind men, who believe that Jesus is able
to heal, are healed by Him.
Notice Jesus question Do you believe that I am
able to do this
It is not always Gods Will to heal us, deliver
us, or to keep us safe.
Our belief and faith should not be contingent on
our healing or any other consequences.
Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego reply to
Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 317-18 The God we
serve is able to save us from it, and he will
rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if He
does not, we want you to know, O king, that we
will not serve your gods or worship the image of
gold you have set up.

11
The Demon-possessed man

This demon-possessed man is different from the
other encounters we have seen in this chapter
He does not express faith, yet Jesus casts the
demon out and He is healed
The Lord can do miracles and works apart from any
prayer, faith, or other things involving us.
This discretion belongs to Him. He is God and
can decide to do anything as it pleases Him.
