do, do all to the glory of God.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV
10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 NASB
21When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat
to the other side, a large crowd gathered around
Him; and so He stayed by the seashore. 22 One of
the synagogue officials named Jairus came up,
and on seeing Him, fell at His feet 23 and implored
Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the
point of death; please come and layYour hands on
her, so that she will get well and live.”
24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd
was following Him and pressing (crushing) in on
Him.
25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for
twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the
hands of many physicians, and had spent all
that she had and was not helped at all, but
rather had grown worse— 27 after hearing about
Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him
and touched His cloak. 28 For she thought, “If I
just touch His garments, I will get well.”
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried
up; and she felt in her body that she was healed
of her affliction. 30 Immediately Jesus,
perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding
from Him had gone forth, turned around in the
crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the
crowd pressing in onYou, andYou say, ‘Who
touched Me?’”
32 And He looked around to see the woman who
had done this. 33 But the woman fearing and
trembling, aware of what had happened to her,
came and fell down before Him and told Him
the whole truth. 34And He said to her,
“Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in
peace and be healed of your affliction.”
35While He was still speaking, they came from
the house of the synagogue official, saying,
“Your daughter has died; why trouble the
Teacher anymore?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing
what was being spoken, said to the synagogue
official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only
believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to
accompany Him, except Peter and James and
John the brother of James.
38They came to the house of the synagogue
official; and He saw a commotion, and people
loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And entering in,
He said to them, “Why make a commotion and
weep?The child has not died, but is asleep.”
40They began laughing at Him. But putting
them all out, He took along the child’s father
and mother and His own companions, and
entered the room where the child was.
41Taking the child by the hand, He said to her,
“Talitha (taleeTHAH) kum (KOOmee)!” (which
translated means - “Little girl, I say to you, get
up!”).
42 Immediately the girl got up and began to
walk, for she was twelve years old. And
immediately they were completely astounded.
43 And He gave them strict orders that no one
should know about this, and He said that
something should be given her to eat.

Here, in the Gospel of Mark, we are dealing with
the miraculous power of the Lord Jesus Christ
when He was on Earth during His first coming.
God established natural law and the universe
goes on every single day accordingly; in
rhythm, in time, expectedly.
You know in advance when the sun's going to
rise and set, etcetera.
But a miracle is the intervention into natural law
by the supernatural - a divine disruption.
It's where natural law, what normally happens,
is interrupted.
God establish natural law and whenever He
decides to supersede natural law, He does so.
But God steps into the scene from time to time
and moves things around; that's the
miraculous, and we're dealing with a couple of
those times here in the Mark 5.
God's Servant, Jesus Christ, is the Master of
every situation and the Conqueror of every
enemy.
If we trust Him and follow His orders, we need
never be afraid.
Victory is the major theme that binds this
section together.
Mark 4:35—6:43 recorded four miracles (we will
see two of those this morning) that Jesus
performed, and each miracle announces even
to us today the defeat of an enemy (dangers,
demons, diseases and death).
In the large crowd gathered around Jesus that
day stood two people who were especially
anxious to see Him—Jairus, a man with a dying
daughter; and an anonymous woman suffering
from an incurable disease.
The contrast between these two needy people
is striking and reveals the wideness of Christ's
love and mercy.
Jairus was an important synagogue officer, and
the woman was an anonymous "nobody"; yet
Jesus welcomed and helped both of them.
Jairus was about to lose a daughter who had
given him twelve years of happiness, and the
woman was suffering from an affliction that
had brought her twelve years of sorrow.
Being a synagogue officer, Jairus was no doubt
wealthy; but his wealth could not save his dying
daughter.
The woman was already bankrupt!
She had given the doctors all of her money, and
yet none of them could cure her, in fact, she
was worse.
Both Jairus and the poor woman found the
answers to their needs literally at the feet of
Jesus.
The ground is level at the feet of Jesus, for all
who have burdens meet there.
In His victory over death, consider the three
statements that Jesus made concerning faith,
hope and love.
Jesus spoke:
The word of faith (v. 36).
“Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”
The word of hope (v. 39).
“The child has not died, but is asleep.”
The word of love and power (v.41).
“Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
As a ruler of the synagogue, Jairus was the
highest standing spiritual authority in the city of
Capernaum.
He was not a priest (he may have been a
Pharisee) but superintended all of the affairs of
the local house of worship.
As ruler of the synagogue, he was one of the
most important and most respected men in the
community.
There can be no doubt that he must have
regarded Jesus as an outsider, as a dangerous
heretic, as one toWhom the synagogue doors
were rightly closed, and oneWhom anyone
who valued his orthodoxy would do well to
avoid.
Pharisees were the notorious enemies of Jesus
Christ, so it was difficult for a man of this
stature, of this standing, of this position in the
religious Jewish community to come to Jesus to
beg for his daughter to be healed.
His daughter, the light of his life, was on her
deathbed, and when you're desperate, you are
more prone to overcome these kinds of
prejudices.
Jairus believed that Jesus was powerful enough
to heal his daughter so in desperation, he
decided to approach Jesus and fall at His feet.
Here we find that Jesus was approachable.
People could walk up to Jesus any time; it was
easy to approach Him.
You didn't have to take a number or call Peter
first.
He was approachable and still is!
But there's something else about Jesus that
probably bothered this ruler—He's interruptible.
He could be going in one direction but allow
Himself to be interrupted by another issue.
While Jesus was on the way to Jairus' house, He
was touched by a woman who had a flow of
blood (the Bible tells us a twelve-year long flow
of blood).
Jairus: "Jesus, come!"
Then, as He’s going, Jesus gets interrupted, and He
makes a big deal of it, "Who touched Me?"
The disciples thought it was a very peculiar
question since the whole crowd was pressing in
on Him.
But only one touched Him in faith for healing!
We have a lot of folk around who use the name
of Jesus freely.
They are running around saying that it is Jesus
this, and Jesus that, and people think they
know Him.
Surely they do know Him, but they have
touched Him as the crowd touched Him -- not
like this woman touched Him, for she touched
Him in faith for healing and Jesus could tell the
difference between the touch of fame and the
touch of faith.
Jesus felt power going out of Him.
All of the ministry that Jesus provided to people
cost Him tremendously.
And ministry does cost people.
Jesus, it says, from time to time got totally physically
exhausted.
One time as the disciples took him along in a boat, He fell
asleep in the stern of the boat during a storm. (Mark 4:36-
38)
Billy Graham felt like a portion of his life was taken
away from him physically during those early crusade
events that he never ever recovered from.
Preaching for one hour can be exhausting,
equivalent to a six-hour workday for a
professional or an eight-hour workday for a
physical laborer.
It takes that much energy out of a minister, for
the mental wrangling & the capacity it requires.
Jairus is probably standing on one leg, and then
standing on the other leg.
He didn't have a watch—but he is looking at his
sundial, thinking, "There's still hope; there's still
time."
Here was this man with hope and probably,
wouldn't you say, with a little impatience while
he waited on Jesus to deal with this
“interruption”.
The delay caused by the anonymous woman
may have irritated Jairus, for by the time Jesus
was through helping her, news came that Jairus'
daughter had died.
Mark 5:35 NKJV
While He was still speaking, some came from
the ruler of the synagogue's house who said,
“Your daughter is dead.Why trouble the
Teacher any further?”
Can you imagine what that sounded like, the
finality of that statement?
The blood probably drained out of his face
when he heard those dreaded words, "She's
dead. It’s too late."
They knew it was too late; he knew it was too
late.
Let’s rephrase that—he thought it was too late -
not knowingWho he's dealing with.
Death is an enemy.
The Bible says in Hebrews that the entire human race is
under the bondage of the fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV
14 Since the children have flesh and blood, He
too shared in their humanity so that by His
death He might break the power of him who
holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 and free those who all their lives were held in
slavery by their fear of death.
There's this universal fear of death that people
have, people we know!
The Bible calls it the last great enemy of
mankind.
1 Corinthians 15:26 NASB
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
So, they said, “It's over. She's dead.Why
trouble theTeacher any further?"
Jairus' friends were sure that Jesus could do
nothing more (John 11:37), but He is the only
OneWho can conquer death (Hebrews 2:14-15).
Jesus encouraged Jairus with, “Do not be afraid
any longer, only believe.” (Mark 5:36).
When everything seems to be falling apart
around us, and even our friends discourage us,
all we can do is cling by faith to the promises of
God.
Have you ever had people try to discourage you
from your faith in the Lord?
“Don't even bother Him with that.”
People will ridicule your faith: "What do you
mean you pray for that?What are you, a nut?"
Or Satan will try to discourage you and
dissuade you from trusting; am I right?
So, the faith that was welling up within Jairus is
now decimated by the desperation of this
incident.
“Your daughter is dead.Why trouble the
Teacher any further?”
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was
spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue,
“Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”
Sometimes God has delayed, and we have
wondered why.
That is when we need that special "word of
faith" from the Lord (Don’t be afraid and keep
on believing), and we receive it as we spend
time in HisWord.
Now, folks, this is a command; it's in the
imperative in the Greek.
It's a commandment, and it’s also in the present
tense, continued action.
So, here's the best translation, “Jesus overheard
that, and He sensed that the man's bottom
dropped out of his life, so Jesus said to him,
'Stop fearing; keep on believing. Stop fearing;
keep on believing.’You came with faith, you
trusted that I could do this, stop your fearing,
keep on—maintain that level of faith that you
had. Keep believing. But believe, in an ongoing,
continual, persistent sense.”
That's the commandment of Jesus.
Faith and fear cannot live together; they're
mutually exclusive.
The cure for your fears is faith in God.
One will overtake the other; they can't live
together.
When you're fearful, it's because you are not
exercising your faith.
When you have faith in God, it banishes fear.
So, it's a beautiful, succinct command, and it's
one for us to take heed to today.
Stop fearing; keep on believing. Keep the faith,
man.
Mark 5:37 NKJV
37 And He permitted no one to follow Him
except Peter, James, and John the brother of
James.
In this verse we have the first incident when
Jesus had—can we call it an ExecutiveTeam?
He had twelve disciples, intimate followers, but
on three different occasions (this is the first),
Jesus would separate from the other disciples
and take just these three: Peter, James, and
John.
Jesus called together His inner circle:
1) here in Mark 5,
2) on the Mount ofTransfiguration,
3) and in the garden of Gethsemane.
Each of these experiences taught them a lesson
about death:
1) Christ is victorious over death (here),
2) glorified in death (Transfiguration),
3) and submitted to death (garden of
Gethsemane).
Now, it's obvious that when somebody's
grieving and you're at their small home, to
bring twelve buddies with you into somebody's
house that you don't know, at a time of grief,
would be too much; it would be overwhelming.
So, Jesus sequesters them, and they go into the
house: Peter, James, and John – this little
ExecutiveTeam.
Mark 5:38 NASB
38They came to the house of the synagogue
official; and He saw a commotion, and people
loudly weeping and wailing.
• Let’s paint a picture of an ancient funeral,
because you're about to see Jesus crash it!
Jesus was the great funeral crasher!
He's about to say, "This funeral is over!"
You're going to hear the response from the
crowd, but we want to get this background in
order to appreciate what they say to Him.
Middle Eastern funerals were and even are
today loud events; lots of wailing, lots of
screaming, lots of howling.
Because they buried their dead very quickly,
there was only a short opportunity to show how
much you really loved that person.
It was believed that if you vocalized it, and
shared it very emotionally, it's because that
person was so loved.
It's the opposite of our funerals.
You go to funerals here in the west, it's just the
way we do funerals, it's a quiet affair, its hush.
Funeral homes have signs: "Quiet Please."
You couldn't do that back then; they would
have ripped it down.
We speak in hush tones, and the organ plays up
front, and it's just a kind of a quiet, more of a
somber affair, little weeps, you know.
Not then, it was wailing and weeping and not
only that, typically you hired profession
mourners.
People who, shall we say, primed the pump.
They just knew, it was time, "Okay, time for a
funeral to start. Ready? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
They just started wailing.
Even though it was an act, and they were
professionals, and they were paid for it, that
primed the emotional pump when they heard
crying and other people would cry, too.
If you're around somebody who cries, you often weep
with those who weep.
It's a natural, human response.
At ancient funerals there were also flute
players.
According to Jewish tradition, even the poorest
person of the land was entitled to at least two
flute players at his or her funeral.
Now, the flute players didn't play melodious
sounds like "How GreatThou Art" or "Amazing
Grace"; they were just sort of disassociated
sounds.
And so you'd walk into a place and you can just
imagine, people would be moving up and down
and "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," and then bad music
happening.
It's, like, what happened?
Not only that, it was customary to rend or rip
one's garments at a funeral.
Today when you go to a funeral, you usually
wear your best clothes; you pick out a good
suit, or you pick out a nice dress, you know.
Not back then, you're going to a funeral, pick
out something you don't mind getting torn up.
It's not like you would put on your nice stuff and
go, "Honey, how does this look? How does this
robe look and this tunic? Is that cool? How does
it look from the side? Is that look pretty good?"
You didn't care; it was going to be ripped.
TheTalmud had thirty-nine different
instructions on how to rip your garment at a
funeral?
There were laws like, you would rip your
garment if you were related to the person -
always over the heart.
You would bare the skin and show the skin, and
you would rip your garment about down to the
heart, but never as far as the navel; you didn't
want to be obscene.
If you were not related, you would rip your
garment somewhere smaller but still near the
heart.
A woman would rip her garment in private and
often the garment was then worn backwards to
demonstrate the tear in the back, for obvious
reasons.
A friend in mourning did not work for three
days and the prohibition of work extended even
to his servants.
He wasn’t to shave, or "do anything for his
comfort."
He wasn’t to not read the Law or the Prophets,
for to read these books is joy. He was allowed to
read Job, Jeremiah and Lamentations.
So, Jesus came to this scene and that was what
was going on here.
This child was fully dead.
The flutes were playing, there was mourning,
the garments were ripped, the hair was
disheveled, and Jesus walked in.
And He was always calm.
He was like the eye of a hurricane.
He was never frazzled, He was just—"Stop
fearing; keep believing. Let's go to your house.
Let's check this out."
Mark 5:38-40 NKJV
38 He came to the house of the ruler of the
synagogue, saw a tumult and those who wept
and wailed loudly. 39When He came in, He said
to them, "Why make this commotion and
weep?The child is not dead, but sleeping."
40 And they ridiculed Him! But when He had put
them all outside, He took the father and the
mother of the child, and those who were with
Him, and entered in where the child was lying.
What a thing to say.
"Why are you acting like this?”
That's an odd thing to ask, because every
funeral had that happen.
"Why are you making a big commotion?"
"Um, because she's dead?"
Jesus says, "The child is not dead, but sleeping."
They thought that was the stupidest thing they had
ever heard, "That's ridiculous."
Why did Jesus use that terminology - “sleeping”?
Because He's redefining what death is in the life
of a believer.
He's not saying that when you die your soul
sleeps.
There's a whole doctrine called "soul sleep,"
that you go into unconsciousness, and you just
sort of drift aimlessly without any connection to
consciousness.
You unplug for thousands of years until whenever
Jesus comes back.
That's not true by the way; it’s just not true (it is the
body that sleeps).
"To live is Christ, to die is gain. I would rather depart
and be with Christ," Paul said.
The reason Jesus said she was only sleeping is
He was using a metaphor. "I'm about to wake
her up … there's going to be a resurrection!"
Now, the apostles pick up on this metaphor
throughout the Scriptures.
Paul talks about those who sleep in Jesus, in
FirstThessalonians, chapter 4.
1Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed,
brethren, about those who are asleep, so that
you will not grieve as do the rest who have no
hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so God will bring with Him those
who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we
say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who
are alive and remain until the coming of the
Lord, will not precede those who have fallen
asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and
with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ
will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain
will be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall
always be with the Lord. 18Therefore comfort one
another with these words.
1Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB
On another occasion Jesus said, "Our friend
Lazarus is sleeping. I'm going to go wake him
up."
And then the disciples didn't get that, and go,
"Oh, well, if he's sleeping, just let him alone.
He'll wake up on his own."
So, Jesus said, "Lazarus is dead."
In the book of Acts, Stephen as he was being
stoned to death, when he died, Luke says, "And
he fell asleep."
All of that imagery says that you have no more
to be afraid of about death than a person taking
a nap.
A person taking a nap, takes the nap, is
refreshed, gets up.
Every believer in Christ that dies will wake up.
Actually, everybody will wake up.
Daniel 12:2 NIV
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth
will awake: some to everlasting life, others to
shame and everlasting contempt.
So, Jesus speaking words of spiritual reality
says, "That child isn't dead, the child is just
sleeping. I'm about to wake her up."
"And they ridiculed Him." The most ridiculous
thing they had ever heard.
Mark 5:40b
40b But when He put them all outside,
• Actually this is stronger in the Greek.
• "He backed them out."
• “Get out of here! Out of here! Out of
here! Out of here! Out!”
• He pushed them out. "Get these
faithless mockers out of here."
They ridiculed Him, He put them all outside,
and “He took the father and the mother of the
child, and those who were with Him, and
entered where the child was lying."
Now in parallel accounts of this miracle, it says,
"They laughed Him to scorn."They laughed in
His face.
If they can go from mourning that quickly to
laughing, it shows you how insincere their
mourning was.
Mark 5:41a NKJV
41a He took the child by the hand, and said to
her, “Talitha, cumin,” (Aramaic)
How did this little bit of Aramaic get itself
embedded in the Greek of the gospels?
The reason is because Mark got his information
from Peter.
Peter had been there; he was one of the chosen
three, the inner circle, who had seen this
happen and he could never forget Jesus' voice.
In his mind and memory, he could hear those
words all his life.
The love, the gentleness, the caress of it
lingered with him forever, so much so that he
was unable to think of it in Greek at all, because
his memory could hear it only in the voice of
Jesus and in the very words that Jesus spoke.
The reason it's Aramaic is because that was the
household language of the day.
That’s the language the little girl spoke.
When the Jews came back from Babylon, they
kept speaking the language of Babylon
(Chaldean,Aramaic), and so that was still
prevalent, especially among rural populations.
So, Jesus spoke Aramaic with them.
Mark 5:41 NKJV
41Then He took the child by the hand, and said
to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated,
“Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
• It's better translated "little lamb." "Little
lamb, arise!"
• You know how we give our children cute little
names?
And that's so fitting for a little girl. "Oh, you
sweet, little lamb."They like that. Now, when
they're about older than three, that won't work.
And when they get much older you think of
different animal names to call them, perhaps.
But this is very fitting for this little child but it's not what
was said which brought Jairus' daughter back to life.
It wasWho said it!
We find here that our Lord raised a little girl, He
also raised a man in the vigor of young
manhood (the widow's son at Nain), and then
probably a mature man or even a senior citizen,
Lazarus.
Jesus raised them all the same way, He spoke to
them!
This little girl represents the little folk, those
little ones before they reach the age of
accountability.
And He said to her in this lovely way, "Little
lamb, wake up!"
Vernon McGee said:
“I know right now I'm speaking to a lot of folk
who have lost little ones.When we lost our first
little one, what a sad thing it was for us. It's
wonderful for me to know that although she
has been in His presence for many years, one of
these days He's going to speak those words
again, ‘Little lamb, wake up!’
He'll be talking to my little lamb and to your little
lamb.
Then that little form that we laid away will be raised
from the grave, the spirit joined to the glorified body,
and we will again have our little ones someday.
What a wonderful, beautiful thing this is.
It is a demonstration of His power.”
"Immediately the girl arose and walked."
Now just try to imagine Mom and Dad, and
then eventually those people who were waiting
outside.
Mark 5:42 NKJV
42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for
she was twelve years of age. And they were
overcome with great amazement.
I'm glad it's stated that way; there's no other
way to state it—overcome, speechless, there
are no words, there's no fitting emotion.
Mark 5:43 NKJV
43 But He commanded them strictly that no one
should know it, and said that something should
be given her to eat.
The girl not only came back to life, but was also
healed of her sickness, for she was able to get
out of bed and walk around and eat.
Divine miracles never replace common-sense
care.
A miracle was done, but then Jesus said, "Make
sure she gets some chicken soup." I like that!
The worst human disaster can be met with
courage and gallantry when we meet it with
God.
They laughed Him to scorn because they
thought His hope was groundless and His calm
mistaken.
But the great fact of the Christian life is that
what looks completely impossible with men is
possible with God.
What on merely human grounds is far too good
to be true, becomes blessedly true when God is
there.
They laughed Him to scorn, but their laughter
must have turned to amazed wonder when they
realized what God can do.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Revelation 21:7 NASB
7 “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will
be his God and he will be My son.”
• Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be overcomers.
Romans 10:9-10 NASB
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes,
resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:13 NASB
13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE
SAVED.”

Jesus Raises a Girl from the Dead

  • 1. Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 Restores March 24, 2019 First Baptist Church Jackson, Mississippi USA
  • 4. http://www.nmnewsandviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/glory-of-God.jpg 1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
  • 5. March MemoryVerse Isaiah 41:10 NIV 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
  • 6. Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 NASB 21When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore. 22 One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet 23 and implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and layYour hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”
  • 7. 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing (crushing) in on Him.
  • 8. 25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. 28 For she thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”
  • 9. 29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. 30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in onYou, andYou say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
  • 10. 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”
  • 11. 35While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
  • 12. 38They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep?The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was.
  • 13. 41Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha (taleeTHAH) kum (KOOmee)!” (which translated means - “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
  • 14. 42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.
  • 15. 43 And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat. Mark 5:21-24, 35-43 NASB
  • 16. WarrenWiersbe (Born May 16, 1929) Bible Exposition Commentary (BE Series) NT – Volume 1.
  • 18. Here, in the Gospel of Mark, we are dealing with the miraculous power of the Lord Jesus Christ when He was on Earth during His first coming.
  • 19. God established natural law and the universe goes on every single day accordingly; in rhythm, in time, expectedly. You know in advance when the sun's going to rise and set, etcetera.
  • 20. But a miracle is the intervention into natural law by the supernatural - a divine disruption. It's where natural law, what normally happens, is interrupted.
  • 21. God establish natural law and whenever He decides to supersede natural law, He does so.
  • 22. But God steps into the scene from time to time and moves things around; that's the miraculous, and we're dealing with a couple of those times here in the Mark 5.
  • 23. God's Servant, Jesus Christ, is the Master of every situation and the Conqueror of every enemy. If we trust Him and follow His orders, we need never be afraid. Victory is the major theme that binds this section together.
  • 24. Mark 4:35—6:43 recorded four miracles (we will see two of those this morning) that Jesus performed, and each miracle announces even to us today the defeat of an enemy (dangers, demons, diseases and death).
  • 25. In the large crowd gathered around Jesus that day stood two people who were especially anxious to see Him—Jairus, a man with a dying daughter; and an anonymous woman suffering from an incurable disease.
  • 26. The contrast between these two needy people is striking and reveals the wideness of Christ's love and mercy. Jairus was an important synagogue officer, and the woman was an anonymous "nobody"; yet Jesus welcomed and helped both of them.
  • 27. Jairus was about to lose a daughter who had given him twelve years of happiness, and the woman was suffering from an affliction that had brought her twelve years of sorrow.
  • 28. Being a synagogue officer, Jairus was no doubt wealthy; but his wealth could not save his dying daughter. The woman was already bankrupt!
  • 29. She had given the doctors all of her money, and yet none of them could cure her, in fact, she was worse. Both Jairus and the poor woman found the answers to their needs literally at the feet of Jesus.
  • 30. The ground is level at the feet of Jesus, for all who have burdens meet there.
  • 31. In His victory over death, consider the three statements that Jesus made concerning faith, hope and love.
  • 32. Jesus spoke: The word of faith (v. 36). “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” The word of hope (v. 39). “The child has not died, but is asleep.” The word of love and power (v.41). “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
  • 33. As a ruler of the synagogue, Jairus was the highest standing spiritual authority in the city of Capernaum. He was not a priest (he may have been a Pharisee) but superintended all of the affairs of the local house of worship.
  • 34. As ruler of the synagogue, he was one of the most important and most respected men in the community.
  • 35. There can be no doubt that he must have regarded Jesus as an outsider, as a dangerous heretic, as one toWhom the synagogue doors were rightly closed, and oneWhom anyone who valued his orthodoxy would do well to avoid.
  • 36. Pharisees were the notorious enemies of Jesus Christ, so it was difficult for a man of this stature, of this standing, of this position in the religious Jewish community to come to Jesus to beg for his daughter to be healed.
  • 37. His daughter, the light of his life, was on her deathbed, and when you're desperate, you are more prone to overcome these kinds of prejudices.
  • 38. Jairus believed that Jesus was powerful enough to heal his daughter so in desperation, he decided to approach Jesus and fall at His feet.
  • 39. Here we find that Jesus was approachable. People could walk up to Jesus any time; it was easy to approach Him. You didn't have to take a number or call Peter first. He was approachable and still is!
  • 40. But there's something else about Jesus that probably bothered this ruler—He's interruptible. He could be going in one direction but allow Himself to be interrupted by another issue.
  • 41. While Jesus was on the way to Jairus' house, He was touched by a woman who had a flow of blood (the Bible tells us a twelve-year long flow of blood).
  • 42. Jairus: "Jesus, come!" Then, as He’s going, Jesus gets interrupted, and He makes a big deal of it, "Who touched Me?"
  • 43. The disciples thought it was a very peculiar question since the whole crowd was pressing in on Him. But only one touched Him in faith for healing!
  • 44. We have a lot of folk around who use the name of Jesus freely. They are running around saying that it is Jesus this, and Jesus that, and people think they know Him.
  • 45. Surely they do know Him, but they have touched Him as the crowd touched Him -- not like this woman touched Him, for she touched Him in faith for healing and Jesus could tell the difference between the touch of fame and the touch of faith.
  • 46. Jesus felt power going out of Him. All of the ministry that Jesus provided to people cost Him tremendously. And ministry does cost people.
  • 47. Jesus, it says, from time to time got totally physically exhausted. One time as the disciples took him along in a boat, He fell asleep in the stern of the boat during a storm. (Mark 4:36- 38)
  • 48. Billy Graham felt like a portion of his life was taken away from him physically during those early crusade events that he never ever recovered from.
  • 49. Preaching for one hour can be exhausting, equivalent to a six-hour workday for a professional or an eight-hour workday for a physical laborer. It takes that much energy out of a minister, for the mental wrangling & the capacity it requires.
  • 50. Jairus is probably standing on one leg, and then standing on the other leg. He didn't have a watch—but he is looking at his sundial, thinking, "There's still hope; there's still time."
  • 51. Here was this man with hope and probably, wouldn't you say, with a little impatience while he waited on Jesus to deal with this “interruption”.
  • 52. The delay caused by the anonymous woman may have irritated Jairus, for by the time Jesus was through helping her, news came that Jairus' daughter had died.
  • 53. Mark 5:35 NKJV While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, “Your daughter is dead.Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
  • 54. Can you imagine what that sounded like, the finality of that statement?
  • 55. The blood probably drained out of his face when he heard those dreaded words, "She's dead. It’s too late." They knew it was too late; he knew it was too late. Let’s rephrase that—he thought it was too late - not knowingWho he's dealing with.
  • 56. Death is an enemy. The Bible says in Hebrews that the entire human race is under the bondage of the fear of death.
  • 57. Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
  • 58. There's this universal fear of death that people have, people we know! The Bible calls it the last great enemy of mankind. 1 Corinthians 15:26 NASB 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
  • 59. So, they said, “It's over. She's dead.Why trouble theTeacher any further?"
  • 60. Jairus' friends were sure that Jesus could do nothing more (John 11:37), but He is the only OneWho can conquer death (Hebrews 2:14-15).
  • 61. Jesus encouraged Jairus with, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” (Mark 5:36). When everything seems to be falling apart around us, and even our friends discourage us, all we can do is cling by faith to the promises of God.
  • 62. Have you ever had people try to discourage you from your faith in the Lord? “Don't even bother Him with that.”
  • 63. People will ridicule your faith: "What do you mean you pray for that?What are you, a nut?" Or Satan will try to discourage you and dissuade you from trusting; am I right?
  • 64. So, the faith that was welling up within Jairus is now decimated by the desperation of this incident. “Your daughter is dead.Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
  • 65. As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”
  • 66. Sometimes God has delayed, and we have wondered why. That is when we need that special "word of faith" from the Lord (Don’t be afraid and keep on believing), and we receive it as we spend time in HisWord.
  • 67. Now, folks, this is a command; it's in the imperative in the Greek. It's a commandment, and it’s also in the present tense, continued action.
  • 68. So, here's the best translation, “Jesus overheard that, and He sensed that the man's bottom dropped out of his life, so Jesus said to him, 'Stop fearing; keep on believing. Stop fearing; keep on believing.’You came with faith, you trusted that I could do this, stop your fearing, keep on—maintain that level of faith that you had. Keep believing. But believe, in an ongoing, continual, persistent sense.”
  • 69. That's the commandment of Jesus. Faith and fear cannot live together; they're mutually exclusive. The cure for your fears is faith in God. One will overtake the other; they can't live together.
  • 70. When you're fearful, it's because you are not exercising your faith. When you have faith in God, it banishes fear. So, it's a beautiful, succinct command, and it's one for us to take heed to today.
  • 71. Stop fearing; keep on believing. Keep the faith, man. Mark 5:37 NKJV 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
  • 72. In this verse we have the first incident when Jesus had—can we call it an ExecutiveTeam?
  • 73. He had twelve disciples, intimate followers, but on three different occasions (this is the first), Jesus would separate from the other disciples and take just these three: Peter, James, and John.
  • 74. Jesus called together His inner circle: 1) here in Mark 5, 2) on the Mount ofTransfiguration, 3) and in the garden of Gethsemane.
  • 75. Each of these experiences taught them a lesson about death: 1) Christ is victorious over death (here), 2) glorified in death (Transfiguration), 3) and submitted to death (garden of Gethsemane).
  • 76. Now, it's obvious that when somebody's grieving and you're at their small home, to bring twelve buddies with you into somebody's house that you don't know, at a time of grief, would be too much; it would be overwhelming.
  • 77. So, Jesus sequesters them, and they go into the house: Peter, James, and John – this little ExecutiveTeam.
  • 78. Mark 5:38 NASB 38They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. • Let’s paint a picture of an ancient funeral, because you're about to see Jesus crash it!
  • 79. Jesus was the great funeral crasher! He's about to say, "This funeral is over!" You're going to hear the response from the crowd, but we want to get this background in order to appreciate what they say to Him.
  • 80. Middle Eastern funerals were and even are today loud events; lots of wailing, lots of screaming, lots of howling.
  • 81. Because they buried their dead very quickly, there was only a short opportunity to show how much you really loved that person. It was believed that if you vocalized it, and shared it very emotionally, it's because that person was so loved.
  • 82. It's the opposite of our funerals. You go to funerals here in the west, it's just the way we do funerals, it's a quiet affair, its hush. Funeral homes have signs: "Quiet Please."
  • 83. You couldn't do that back then; they would have ripped it down. We speak in hush tones, and the organ plays up front, and it's just a kind of a quiet, more of a somber affair, little weeps, you know.
  • 84. Not then, it was wailing and weeping and not only that, typically you hired profession mourners. People who, shall we say, primed the pump. They just knew, it was time, "Okay, time for a funeral to start. Ready? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
  • 85. They just started wailing. Even though it was an act, and they were professionals, and they were paid for it, that primed the emotional pump when they heard crying and other people would cry, too.
  • 86. If you're around somebody who cries, you often weep with those who weep. It's a natural, human response.
  • 87. At ancient funerals there were also flute players. According to Jewish tradition, even the poorest person of the land was entitled to at least two flute players at his or her funeral.
  • 88. Now, the flute players didn't play melodious sounds like "How GreatThou Art" or "Amazing Grace"; they were just sort of disassociated sounds.
  • 89. And so you'd walk into a place and you can just imagine, people would be moving up and down and "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," and then bad music happening. It's, like, what happened?
  • 90. Not only that, it was customary to rend or rip one's garments at a funeral. Today when you go to a funeral, you usually wear your best clothes; you pick out a good suit, or you pick out a nice dress, you know.
  • 91. Not back then, you're going to a funeral, pick out something you don't mind getting torn up. It's not like you would put on your nice stuff and go, "Honey, how does this look? How does this robe look and this tunic? Is that cool? How does it look from the side? Is that look pretty good?"
  • 92. You didn't care; it was going to be ripped.
  • 93. TheTalmud had thirty-nine different instructions on how to rip your garment at a funeral? There were laws like, you would rip your garment if you were related to the person - always over the heart.
  • 94. You would bare the skin and show the skin, and you would rip your garment about down to the heart, but never as far as the navel; you didn't want to be obscene. If you were not related, you would rip your garment somewhere smaller but still near the heart.
  • 95. A woman would rip her garment in private and often the garment was then worn backwards to demonstrate the tear in the back, for obvious reasons.
  • 96. A friend in mourning did not work for three days and the prohibition of work extended even to his servants. He wasn’t to shave, or "do anything for his comfort."
  • 97. He wasn’t to not read the Law or the Prophets, for to read these books is joy. He was allowed to read Job, Jeremiah and Lamentations.
  • 98. So, Jesus came to this scene and that was what was going on here. This child was fully dead. The flutes were playing, there was mourning, the garments were ripped, the hair was disheveled, and Jesus walked in.
  • 99. And He was always calm. He was like the eye of a hurricane. He was never frazzled, He was just—"Stop fearing; keep believing. Let's go to your house. Let's check this out."
  • 100. Mark 5:38-40 NKJV 38 He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. 39When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep?The child is not dead, but sleeping."
  • 101. 40 And they ridiculed Him! But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered in where the child was lying.
  • 102. What a thing to say. "Why are you acting like this?” That's an odd thing to ask, because every funeral had that happen. "Why are you making a big commotion?"
  • 103. "Um, because she's dead?" Jesus says, "The child is not dead, but sleeping." They thought that was the stupidest thing they had ever heard, "That's ridiculous." Why did Jesus use that terminology - “sleeping”?
  • 104. Because He's redefining what death is in the life of a believer.
  • 105. He's not saying that when you die your soul sleeps. There's a whole doctrine called "soul sleep," that you go into unconsciousness, and you just sort of drift aimlessly without any connection to consciousness.
  • 106. You unplug for thousands of years until whenever Jesus comes back. That's not true by the way; it’s just not true (it is the body that sleeps). "To live is Christ, to die is gain. I would rather depart and be with Christ," Paul said.
  • 107. The reason Jesus said she was only sleeping is He was using a metaphor. "I'm about to wake her up … there's going to be a resurrection!"
  • 108. Now, the apostles pick up on this metaphor throughout the Scriptures. Paul talks about those who sleep in Jesus, in FirstThessalonians, chapter 4.
  • 109. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
  • 110. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
  • 111. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB
  • 112. On another occasion Jesus said, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping. I'm going to go wake him up." And then the disciples didn't get that, and go, "Oh, well, if he's sleeping, just let him alone. He'll wake up on his own."
  • 113. So, Jesus said, "Lazarus is dead." In the book of Acts, Stephen as he was being stoned to death, when he died, Luke says, "And he fell asleep." All of that imagery says that you have no more to be afraid of about death than a person taking a nap.
  • 114. A person taking a nap, takes the nap, is refreshed, gets up. Every believer in Christ that dies will wake up. Actually, everybody will wake up.
  • 115. Daniel 12:2 NIV 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
  • 116. So, Jesus speaking words of spiritual reality says, "That child isn't dead, the child is just sleeping. I'm about to wake her up." "And they ridiculed Him." The most ridiculous thing they had ever heard.
  • 117. Mark 5:40b 40b But when He put them all outside, • Actually this is stronger in the Greek. • "He backed them out." • “Get out of here! Out of here! Out of here! Out of here! Out!” • He pushed them out. "Get these faithless mockers out of here."
  • 118. They ridiculed Him, He put them all outside, and “He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying."
  • 119. Now in parallel accounts of this miracle, it says, "They laughed Him to scorn."They laughed in His face. If they can go from mourning that quickly to laughing, it shows you how insincere their mourning was.
  • 120. Mark 5:41a NKJV 41a He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumin,” (Aramaic)
  • 121. How did this little bit of Aramaic get itself embedded in the Greek of the gospels? The reason is because Mark got his information from Peter.
  • 122. Peter had been there; he was one of the chosen three, the inner circle, who had seen this happen and he could never forget Jesus' voice. In his mind and memory, he could hear those words all his life.
  • 123. The love, the gentleness, the caress of it lingered with him forever, so much so that he was unable to think of it in Greek at all, because his memory could hear it only in the voice of Jesus and in the very words that Jesus spoke.
  • 124. The reason it's Aramaic is because that was the household language of the day. That’s the language the little girl spoke.
  • 125. When the Jews came back from Babylon, they kept speaking the language of Babylon (Chaldean,Aramaic), and so that was still prevalent, especially among rural populations. So, Jesus spoke Aramaic with them.
  • 126. Mark 5:41 NKJV 41Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” • It's better translated "little lamb." "Little lamb, arise!" • You know how we give our children cute little names?
  • 127. And that's so fitting for a little girl. "Oh, you sweet, little lamb."They like that. Now, when they're about older than three, that won't work. And when they get much older you think of different animal names to call them, perhaps.
  • 128. But this is very fitting for this little child but it's not what was said which brought Jairus' daughter back to life. It wasWho said it!
  • 129. We find here that our Lord raised a little girl, He also raised a man in the vigor of young manhood (the widow's son at Nain), and then probably a mature man or even a senior citizen, Lazarus.
  • 130. Jesus raised them all the same way, He spoke to them! This little girl represents the little folk, those little ones before they reach the age of accountability. And He said to her in this lovely way, "Little lamb, wake up!"
  • 131. Vernon McGee said: “I know right now I'm speaking to a lot of folk who have lost little ones.When we lost our first little one, what a sad thing it was for us. It's wonderful for me to know that although she has been in His presence for many years, one of these days He's going to speak those words again, ‘Little lamb, wake up!’
  • 132. He'll be talking to my little lamb and to your little lamb. Then that little form that we laid away will be raised from the grave, the spirit joined to the glorified body, and we will again have our little ones someday. What a wonderful, beautiful thing this is. It is a demonstration of His power.”
  • 133. "Immediately the girl arose and walked." Now just try to imagine Mom and Dad, and then eventually those people who were waiting outside.
  • 134. Mark 5:42 NKJV 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. I'm glad it's stated that way; there's no other way to state it—overcome, speechless, there are no words, there's no fitting emotion.
