Life of Christ Lesson 62b: The Great Physician {Raising a Dead Girl} - Part III

Mark 5:22-24, 35:45 (also Matthew 9:18, 19, 23-26; Luke 8:40-42, 49-56). This is the account of the "healing" by Jesus of the third humanly incurable situation in Mark chapter 5 (the first two were the healing of dehumanized demoniacs - Lesson #61 and the healing of the disgraced daughter of Israel - Lesson #62a). The third consecutive healing miracle of the Great Physician (Jesus) in this chapter was the most "incurable" of all. Jairus' dying 12-year old daughter actually died before Jesus made it to the home. After the delay with the woman with issue of blood, the Lord arrived "too late" (it would seem), for the little girl was dead and the professional mourners had already arrived! If you don't already know this story, you will be richly blessed; if you do already know it, you will also be richly blessed. Why? Because we can never hear enough how our Great Physician Saviour, Who is incarnate God, can "heal" every humanly incurable situation, including the worst of all, death! Halleluiah!
