Get -Up If You Want To Live

[28] For she thought to herself, "If I can just touch his clothing, I will be healed."

[29] And sure enough, as soon as she had touched him, the bleeding stopped and she

knew she was well!

Mark 5:35-43 (Living) While he was still talking to her, messengers arrived from

Jairus' home with the news that it was too late--his daughter was dead and there was no

point in Jesus' coming now.

[36] But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."

[37] Then Jesus halted the crowd and wouldn't let anyone go on with him to Jairus' home

except Peter and James and John.

[38] When they arrived, Jesus saw that all was in great confusion, with unrestrained

weeping and wailing.

[39] He went inside and spoke to the people."Why all this weeping and commotion?" he

asked. "The child isn't dead; she is only asleep!"

[40] They laughed at him in bitter derision, but he told them all to leave, and taking the

little girl's father and mother and his three disciples, he went into the room where she was

lying.

[41] Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Get up, little girl!"

[42] (She was twelve years old.) And she jumped up and walked around! Her parents just

couldn't get over it.

[43] Jesus instructed them very earnestly not to tell what had happened and told them to

give her something to eat.

TOPIC- GET -UP IF YOU WANT TO LIVE

WILL YOU REACH OVER AND TOUCH YOUR

NEIGHBOR

AND SAY --GET UP IF YOU WANT TO LIVE

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THERE ARE TWO MIRACLES ASSOCIATED IN THIS

PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE BEFORE US

THE TEXT REVEALS WHEN JESUS HAD PASS OVER

TO THE OTHER SIDE

AND one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus,

came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet and 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.”

MARK REVEALS THAT

THAT JESUS LEAVES WITH JARIUS TO GO TO

JARIUS HOUSE AND ON THE WAY TO JARIUS

HOUSE THE 1ST MIRACLE IN THE TEXT TOOK

PLACE

WITH A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN DEALING WITH

AND ISSUE OF BLOOD FOR 12 LONG YEARS

WHO PRESS HER WAY THROUGH THE CROWD AND

TOUCH THE HEM OF JESUS GARMENT AND WAS

MADE WHOLE

AND IN THE PROCESS OF JESUS TALKING TO

WOMAN WHO FOUND A MEDICINE SHOPPE IN THE

HIM OF HIS GARMENT

Mark 5:35 (KJV) there came from the ruler of the

synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is

dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

NOW TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE

TEXT BEFORE US IT`S IMPORTANT TO

UNDERSTAND

THAT THIS TEXT IS NOT ABOUT PHYSICAL DEATH

BECAUSE JARIUS DAUGHTER DEATH IS ONLY

SMYBOLIC OF SPIRITUAL DEATH

THAT HAS HAPPEN TO SO MANY IN THE WORLD

TODAY

BUT NOT ONLY IN THE WORLD -BUT THROUGH

OBSERVATION I`VE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE

A LOT OF SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS WHO

PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS

THE REASON I KNOW IS THERE USE TO BE A TIME

WHEN THEY WAS ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH-BUT

NOW THEY DON`T COME AT ALL

THERE USE TO BE A TIME WHEN THEY THOUGHT

EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT -BUT

NOW THEY DON`T BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING IS

GOING TO BE ALRIGHT-BECAUSE THEY ARE

SPIRITUALLY DEAD

THERE USE TO BE A TIME THEY ENJOYED COMING

TO THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE BUT NOW WHEN

THEY DO DECIDED TO COME -THERE TO DEAD TO

RAISE THERE HANDS

TO DEAD TO SAY AMEN -TO DEAD TO GIVE GOD

THE PRAISE HE TRULY DESERVES

AND THE REASON WHY IS THE DEVIL WILL

HINDER YOUR PRAISE WHEN YOU ARE

SPIRITUALLY DEAD

NOW MARK REVEALS TO US IN THE TEXT

THAT THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD

SPENT ALL OF HER MONEY ON DOCTORS AND

NONE OF THEM DID HER ANY GOOD

BUT MARK ALSO REVEALS THAT JARIUS WAS THE

RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE

AND MOST RULERS OF THE SYNAGOGUE DID`NT

WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH JESUS

AND IT REMINDS US OF THOSE WHO DON`T HAVE

A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF THERE LIVES

AND SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY IN THE WORLD

TODAY WHO HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS AS

LORD AND SAVIOR OF THERE LIVES

I NEEDED TO KNOW HOW CAN DEAD FOLK LIVE

AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO GET UP

MARK EXPRESSES SEVERAL WAYS IN THE TEXT

HOW SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS CAN LIVE

NOW THE ANSWER TO SPIRITUALLY DEAD FOLKS

LIVING IS NOT FOUND IN JARIUS DAUGHTER

BUT THE ANSWER IS FOUND IN JARIUS HIMSELF

YOU SEE JARIUS DAUGHTER IS PHYSICALLY

DEAD

BUT IN THE TEXT JARIUS IS SPIRITUALLY DEAD
