Current Series: The Character of a Disciple
Message: Desperately Broken
Text: Mark 5:24-34
Synopsis: Throughout the gospels, those to whom Jesus gives himself are the desperately broken. This is in comparison to those whom he does not: the self-righteous and unaffected who do not realize nor admit their need for him. This is one of the most overlooked, yet vital characteristics of a disciple: a movement of our hearts toward him in humility and desperation knowing we need him. Often times, we equate "faith" with knowing right information, but in this story and others like it, Jesus commends as real faith the desperate but intentionally outreached hand of the bleeding woman towards him. Sometimes in our desire to be like Jesus, we miss that the way to him is to be like the desperate and needy who fill the pages of the gospels - these are the ones who are healed, these are the ones who get Jesus himself.
