1. Jairus' plea (21-24a)

Jairus was a synagogue ruler. He was rich and influential. But his precious daughter was dying. His wealth could not help her. He abandoned his pride and came and fell at Jesus' feet. Jesus never refuses a humble plea for mercy.

2. A nameless woman (24b-29)

The woman who came to Jesus was poor and sick. She was ceremonially unclean. No one could help her. In her desperation, she came to Jesus. She believed that if she could but touch his cloak, she could be healed--and she was!

3. Who touched me? (30-34)

Jesus was in a hurry. But he took time to meet this woman. She needed to confess God's grace in her life. She needed to meet Jesus personally. She needed his word of love and blessing.

Application: Lord, thank you for accepting me when I come to you just as I am. Thank you for your grace in my life.
One Word: Go in peace and be free
