Now Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

Let's spend the day with Jesus.

Go to the fifth chapter, excuse me, of the book of Mark.

Mark chapter 5, and a certain woman, which had an issue of blood for 12 years, and had suffered many things of many physicians 12 years and had spent all that she

had and was nothing better but rather grew worse. When she had heard of

Jesus came in the press behind and touched his garment.

Jesus then said to her daughter,

your faith has made you whole.

Go in peace and be whole, W-H-O-L-E, behold of that plague.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house.

Now here's what I want you to see.

How do we know? How do we know she'd been sick for 12 years? That's what she told him. How do we know she had suffered many things of many physicians?

Because that's what she testified. How do we know nothing better but rather grew worse because that's what she testified?

And when she heard of Jesus, she told about how she'd heard of him.

Now the Spirit of God didn't she fit to tell us what she said and how

she said she heard it. But how long do you think it took for her to tell all that?

Whole lot longer than it took us to read it.

She talked about 12 years. about all those physicians.

Hey, we don't know but what she just went about each one of them.

And Jesus is just standing there, patiently listening to her.

She took so long that the death messenger came and told Jay Iris, your little daughter is dead.

And no use bothering him anymore.
