Two Miracles, Same Jesus

It’s Not Over Until Jesus Says It’s Over

Mark 5:22–42

1. Your Need Has to Exceed Your Ego

• Jairus had influence, position, and resources—but he still needed Jesus.
• Some things only Jesus can do.
• Prayer matters.

2. Jesus Sees the Overlooked

• Jairus was important and respected.
• The woman was unnamed and rejected.
• Both mattered to Jesus.

3. Faith Presses Through

• She had suffered for 12 years, but then she heard about Jesus.
• She pushed through fear, shame, disappointment, and the crowd.
• Don’t let anything keep you from Jesus.

4. Jesus Restores More Than Your Issue

• She came for healing.
• Jesus called her “Daughter.”
• Your issue does not define your identity. Jesus does.

5. God’s Delay Is Not God’s Denial

• While Jesus stopped for the woman, Jairus’s daughter died.
• Jesus told him: “Do not fear, only believe.”
• Fear says it’s over. Faith says Jesus is still here.

6. Jesus Gets the Last Word

• Jesus took the girl’s hand and told her to arise.
• Death had to let go.
• It’s not over until Jesus says it’s over.

Key Takeaways

• Jesus sees you.
