Today on Summit Life, Pastor J.D. Greer looks at the stories of two people seeking a miracle.

Poor Jiris! This story had started with him pleading with Jesus to rush to his house

because his little girl was on death's door. And now here is Jesus stopping to take extended time

to deal with a woman's chronic ailment. She's cutting in line. If Jesus were a medical

doctor, this decision would not just be insensitive. It would be malpractice.

Welcome back to Summit Life, the Bible teaching ministry of pastor, author, and apologist, Jidy Greer.

I'm your host, Molly Bidovich.

We're more than halfway through our teaching series called The Whole Story, discovering how every chapter of the Bible from beginning to end is all about Jesus and the gospel.

somebody who cut the line, so to speak, to get to Jesus. And she does

so because she's desperate. And desperate people tend to do desperate things. And while what she does

may seem rude, Jesus's reaction to her is maybe even stranger. And the whole encounter is going to

teach us something very important about faith.

In fact, several important things about faith, even if it's not a good model for how to order

a food at a fast food restaurant, because it shows us the kind of faith that Jesus responds to.

And it also shows us what Jesus wants from us when he does not seem to be responding to us. Mark 5, verse 22, let's begin here.

Then one of the synagogue leaders named Jairus, by the way, is the leader of the synagogue.
