Day 8- Luke

Read Luke 8.

Spotlighted Scripture:  Read Luke 8:40-56.

We all need Jesus. 

In this passage, Luke contrasts two very different people who need Jesus.  Jairus was a synagogue ruler meaning he was an important and affluent person.  The bleeding woman would have been an outcast- for 12 years she would have been considered unclean by Jewish law.

Both of these people needed Jesus to heal.  Both of these people took a risk by seeking Jesus to help.  Both of these people needed to "not be afraid and just believe".

• How desperate are you for Jesus and His healing touch?
• What is the "pleading prayer" on your heart today?

Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up".  Don't give up- remember Jesus' words- "Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed".
