And what has happened to her is she has just been healed in a split second and she knows it and she

therefore knows what Jesus had been saying all along and what Mark is trying to let us know,

that this is Jesus Christ the son of God. Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson.

The three and a half years of Jesus public ministry were marked

by healings, preaching, and lots of confrontation. In Jesus' own words, I did not come to bring

peace, but a sword.

Yet his ministry had something else, something even pastors and Bible students

often overlook.

In the midst of his battles with the religious elite and with those who denied the truth,

Jesus stopped and he showed compassion to those who most desperately needed it.

And in doing that, the Lord modeled the kind of ministry

that you and I should demonstrate to others.

Today, John MacArthur considers the compelling pity of Jesus.

Follow along in Mark chapter 5 as John continues his study called Jesus overall.

Anybody who understands the Bible, anybody who understands the holy scripture knows that

the human race fell as a result of the sin of Adam and Eve,

and that mankind in total was catapulted into sin. Since this is universally the case, the

greatest question facing us is is there escape is there any hope for

deliverance from sin and its horrendous and everlasting consequences well the Bible gives the answer and the answer is a resounding yes, yes.

There is a deliverer, there is a rescuer, there is a Savior, there is one, none other than Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

It is he, say the prophets and the Apostles who will reverse the curse.

The miracles then were Jesus self-revelation, the disclosure, the manifestation, the verification of his person by his power.
