Red Letters in Luke

On the Way

Luke 8:40–56

About This Message

A synagogue ruler falls at Jesus' feet for his dying daughter. On the way, a woman bleeding for twelve years touches His robe and is healed. Jesus stops for her. Then He raises the girl. Two nested stories — Jesus stops for the hidden and raises the hopeless.

"Don't be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed."
Luke 8:50

Key Points

  1. 1

    Jairus was a synagogue ruler — a man with status who laid it all down at the feet of Jesus.

  2. 2

    The woman was unnamed, unclean by law, and had spent everything on doctors who could not help.

  3. 3

    "Who touched me?" — Jesus stopped. In a pressing crowd, one person's faith made Him turn.

  4. 4

    "Your faith has healed you." She was not just physically healed but publicly restored.

  5. 5

    "The child is not dead but asleep." Jesus speaks over death as though it is temporary — because for Him, it is.
