Romans 12 talked about how we are renewed and transformed in our minds throught Christ.
That happens through our service.
The passage we are going to look at today is a story where Jesus heals a lady who has been suffering from an illness but also raises a girl back to life. (spoiler alert)
21When 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. 22Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23He 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.” 24So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
35While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36Overhearing5:36 Or Ignoring what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40But they laughed at him.
After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

The first thing we learn is that Jesus is Lord over disease and death.
Mark chapter 4 and 5 have these great stories about Jesus calming the storm, demons, even death. It shows that Jesus is in command and in control of all those things. There is no force on earth that rivals Jesus.
One of the characteristics you see Jesus display in this story is how compassionate he is.
Jesus begins this story kind of minding his own business when a synagogue leader comes up to him. So Jesus diverts his agenda for Jairus' sake. Then Jesus is further diverted by a woman who had been suffering for 12 years.
Jesus is never "too busy"
We see several times in the gospels that faith is rewarded when it give it to Jesus.
With the bleeding woman, she had faith that if she just got close enough to Jesus that she would be healed.
Jairus approached Jesus to begin with because he believed that Jesus could heal and then revive his daughter.
While God does not need our faith work His plans, we are shown that our faith is rewarded when we place it in Jesus' hands.
