*Your Faith has healed you (click1)*
*Mark 5:21-43*
I have mentioned my brother *(click2)*, the doctor,
in my sermons a number of times in the last few months.
As you can see he enjoys fishing as much as I do.
The last time Hedi and I were in Paraguay on vacation
he took me along to the Leprosy Hospital – Km 81 *(click3) *
where he spent the day doing all sorts of
reconstructive surgeries and treating patients.
Since I didn’t have much to do around there
except to listen to Hospital chaplain
preach his daily message *(click4)*,
I asked if I could tag along
and snap a few pictures of him doing his work *(click5)*.
And as I was going about my business
snapping pictures and trying to stay
out of the way of the important medical people
doing there important medical stuff
to cure the world of leprosy
there was one patient on a stretcher *(click6)*
that caught my eye.
At first he appeared like any other patient.
It looked like he had a wound on his leg that wouldn’t heal
and maybe he had simply come to see the doctor
to hopefully get some treatment *(click7)*.
But, when he was put up on the examination table *(click8)*
and started to tell his story,
my heart just sank.
You can see on this picture that his left leg
is twice as big as his right leg,
and that it seems to be badly infected.
Actually, it turned out that the infection in the lower leg
was the least of his concerns *(Click9)*.
As the doctors were trying to figure out his condition
they asked him probing questions
and he told them that about 9 years ago
he had been shoot in the upper leg with a gun,
and that’s were his problem started.
He had almost bled to death
because the bullet had ruptured his vain *(click10)*.
When the doctors had fixed him up to save his life,
they mistakenly joined the ruptured vain,
which takes dirty blood back to the heart,
with the artery, which takes clean blood
from the heart to all the extremities.
And so, his circulatory system in his upper leg
was totally messed up.
And this is where my heart sank: *(Click11)*
my brother had to tell this young man,
he was in his early 30s,
that there was no chance for him to get well,
unless he would get help from a circulatory system specialist.
He would not be able to get the help he needed
here at the Leprosy Hospital.
He had to get help somewhere else.
And if he didn’t get help somewhere else,
he would most likely die within a few short years*.*
*(Click12) *Those must be some of the most heart-wrenching words
that a doctor has to say to a patient:
“I am truly sorry, but, I can’t help you!”
“There is nothing more I can do for you.”
On our trip back to the city
I talked to my brother about that, and he says:
“In the big picture,
there is really only one that can truly heal.
I can do my part to assist in the healing process
with my skill and knowledge,
but ultimately,
I’m as powerless as the next fellow
when it comes to performing miracles.”
Have you ever been to the doctor
With, what you thought, was a real problem with your health?
After a long and agonizing wait,
You finally get to see the doctor,
And they do all sorts of tests,
And at first they tell you “there’s nothing wrong with you.”
On your next visit they tell you,
“It’s all in your head.
I’ll give you some anti-anxiety medication,
And that should clear it up.”
And then after month, maybe years,
They tell you,
“You will just have to live with it.”
Or worse, “Get your house in order.”

*(Click13) *In the Gospel of Mark
we see many miraculous healings in the ministry of Jesus.[1]
Today we want to look at the story
of Jairus’ daughter and a woman with a bleeding problem.
Let’s turn to the story *(Click14):*
* *
*Story 1: Jairus Calls for Jesus 5:21–24a*
/21 //When Jesus had again crossed over by boat /
/to the other side of the lake, /
/a large crowd gathered around him /
/while he was by the lake.
/
/22 //Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there.
/
/ Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet /
/23 //and pleaded earnestly with him, /
/"My little daughter is dying.
/
/Please come and put your hands on her /
/so that she will be healed and live."
