In Mark Chapter 5, Jesus encounters two vastly different believers. One is Jarius, a well-known synagogue leader, and the other is a destitute woman. Despite their circumstances, both Jarius and the woman believed Jesus was capable of healing and they each asked for help. The woman touched Jesus's robe, and when she did, the hemorrhaging she experienced for years stopped. Jarius, the rich ruler, fell to his knees and begged Jesus to cure his dying daughter. When Jesus commanded the girl to get up, she did. Both examples of healing, Pastor Mia explains, show how Jesus revealed a new social order that liberates lowly outcasts and snatches nobility from death.
