In a world full of pain, suffering, and hopelessness, where do we find healing? And what happens when the healing we seek is more than just a physical one? In this study from Mark 5:21-34, we dive deep into the story of a hemorrhaging woman and a synagogue leader named Jairus. It’s a powerful narrative about two very different people who both find themselves in desperate need of Jesus.

Our Bible study begins with the story of a mysterious plague that afflicted cattle in the 1920s, a condition that caused them to bleed to death. This historical parallel sets the stage for our central text, a story about a woman who has been suffering from a blood flow issue for twelve years. We explore how her life was not only filled with physical pain but also with social and religious isolation. She had spent all her money on doctors, only to get worse. But upon hearing about Jesus, she knew she had to reach out to Him. She pushes through a crushing crowd, in a bold act of faith, to simply touch the hem of His garment. What follows is an incredible demonstration of Jesus’ power to heal and transform a life.

But this video is not just about physical healing. It’s about so much more. This Bible study helps us understand the difference between being a part of the crowd and being a true follower of Jesus Christ. We learn that many people can be around Jesus, hear His words, and even be close to Him, yet remain completely unchanged. The hemorrhaging woman, in her imperfect faith, did something the crowd didn’t; she reached out for the healing and salvation she desperately needed. This is a powerful lesson for us today: our faith isn’t meant to be a superficial, transactional relationship with Jesus. He desires a deep, personal connection.
