Hope for the Hopeless

In the second half of Mark 5 we read about Jesus healing a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years and raising back to life a dead 12 year old girl.

These were two situations that were completely hopeless from a human perspective. In the case of the woman we are told that every human resource had been explored and found lacking.
There was no human cure that could be of help to this woman who had suffered so miserably for 12 years.

And there is no human resource that can bring back the dead. In both situations the hopelessness of the condition is well established. But that simply sets the stage for Jesus to do what only He can do.

Only Jesus can give hope to the hopeless. In both situations a desperate appeal was made to Jesus and He did more than could be imagined.

Is your hope in the Lord?
