Touching Jesus' Cloak | Mark 5.21-43 with Sarah Stenson & Dr. Chris Croghan
Episode description
We're dropped in the middle of a string of miracles in this week's podcast:
The first story is of a bleeding woman who's tried everything but only continues to get worse. Desperate, she hears about Jesus and decides to risk it all to touch his cloak.
Then a Jewish man falls at Jesus' feet pleading for him to heal his sick daughter. Jesus doesn't arrive in time and she dies. Incredibly, Jesus demonstrates his power over death by telling the daughter to get up. She is resurrected.
You'll hear Luther House of Study's co-directors, Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan, discuss the culmination of stories demonstrating Jesus' power over nature, Jesus' power over demons, and now, his power over death itself.
Here are a few questions Kiri and Mason ask:
- How did people hear about Jesus' miracles?
- Why was it such a big deal for this woman to be in public?
- What's important about Jesus speaking in his native tongue?
