Today we will be discussing Jarius's wife and daughter. Jarius was the man in the bible whom's daugther died, and Jesus brought her back to life.
This lesson is found in Mark 5: 35-43
When Jarius had found Jesus, and told Him, his daughte was dying, Jesus went to the home with him, telling Jarius not to worry, only believe. Once Jesus got there, He asked them why they were grieving, that the girl wasn't dead, only asleep. They laughed at him and Jesus made them all leave but the father and mother and those that were with Jesus.
The answers to the trivia questions were: 1. the mother is only mentioned once. 2. her name is not mentioned. 3. the daughters name is not mentioned. 4. because they laughed at him. 5. Jesus, the mother, father and Peter, James and John were the only ones in the room.
Now, as mentioned, the mother is only mentioned once, and it does not give her name. However, let's look at her for a moment. Can you imagine how she must have felt, seeing her daughter lying their dead. The girl was only 12. Can you imagine the pain, the heartbreak, maybe even the anger? Her little girl was dead. Gone. Some of you out there may know from experience how she felt, and if you do I am sorry. I don't know from experience, but I can imagine. Her child.
Jesus tells the child in vs 41, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. In 42, the girl immediatly gets up and walks, and they are all astonished.
Now, imagine the mother's joy. The little girl who was dead, that she could never talk to, or hug, or enjoy being around again, has just been BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE!!!! JESUS HAS RAISED HER FROM THE DEAD!!!!! Imagine how the little girl felt, knowing Jesus had just done a miralce for her! I mean, how do you feel when Jesus blesse's you or you recieve a miracle, now imagine this little girl was DEAD, and now she's up walking. I imagine her mother grabbed her and hugged her. The joy in the house that day....my, my, my. Jesus did a miracle for that family!!!!!
Spring is fast approaching. A time for NEW LIFE!!!!! It's time to step out of your old season, into the new one. Old things passed away, behold all things are new. This child whom was brought back, now has a new life. My, my, my....let that set with you a minute. I don't know about any of you, but I'm ready for a new season. I'm ready to see God do an even greater work.
Tomorrow's lesson: The Widow with Two Mites, Mark 12-41-44
& Luke 21:1-4
TRIVIA QUESTIONS:
1. WHAT IS A MITE?
2. JESUS SAID SHE GAVE ____________THAT SHE HAD
3. WHAT WERE THEY CASTING THE MONEY INTO?
Ok Ladies, I had two answers yesterday.......come on, ya'll can do this...lol. Are you guy's enjoying the lesson's? I'm not a bible scholar, but I am saying what God is giving me, and I'm learning as I go too. I want to hear from you all as well. I want us to do this together. I would love it if we could all get face to face and do this, but since we can't do that, this works too.
Since this is for all of you, do ya'll have ideas, of how it could be better? Topics to discuss. Topics can be things we go through today as mothers, wives, daugther, etc, and we will use the bible to find answers. Don't be afraid to be Honest.
Be blessed & Be encouraged ~ God can use you~
