Acts 28:30-31
For two whole years, Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
It’s a miracle that speaks to all people, at all times.
Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of
his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
“Who touched me?”Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
Luke 8:40-48
This miracle that speaks to all people, at all times.
What does it have to say to us today?”
1. There are more people than we could possibly imagine who are living desperately just at the edges of the world.
12 years…wasn’t suffering from
an issue of bleeding; suffering through
an issue of bleeding.
For twelve years this woman had been pushed to the edges.
They “almost crushed [Jesus].”
Who are the people groups in our world who are living desperately just at the edges?
Who are the people groups in our nation?
In our neighborhoods?
Who in particular comes to mind as someone who is living desperately just at the edges?
2. Those living desperately at the edges are always front and center for God.
“Just the edge.”
He calls her “Daughter.”
It’s the only place in the Gospels where Jesus refers to someone as “Daughter.”
No mere “person,” but a “daughter” or a “son”?
3. Those desperately living at the edges should always be front and center for us.
“She’s unclean…”
Those desperately living at the edges should always be front and center for those who follow Jesus.
No one should be left at the edges to suffer alone physically, socially, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
No one. Every man, woman, and child should be pulled from the edges where they live desperately and made front and center, that they might find hope, that they might find healing.
Let's think of 3 people we can put in our Cause Circle to pray for this week...
