Until we finish, my Sunday school class is studying Miracles of Jesus.

Below are highlights from this week’s class discussion.

 

Miracle #8 – A Sick Woman Touches Jesus – Mark 5:24-34

 

Imagine you are the woman. How would you tell the story from her point of view?

• Things to include: “I believed in faith.” “My faith was strong.” “I was desperate.” “I knew this was my last chance.” “I was a bit confused after the healing.” “I didn’t even consider what Jesus’s reaction would be.” 
• We wondered if she went to a priest.
• We observed about the disciples: Their faith was weak, but the woman’s wasn’t. They were not expecting a miracle.

Of all that happens, which is most important to the woman? 

• “I was so excited to tell all my friends what happened.” “I talk so much more now.”

Why?

• Those are normal things I couldn’t do.

What are some current situations where societal norms put “certain people” in the same spot the woman was in?

• Street people
• Those with certain health conditions/Mental issues./Leprosy./Certain races.
• We wondered if she lived with the lepers since she was always unclean like they were.

What can Christians do to help those people?

• Pray for them for as long as we know about the issue still existing.
• Take care of them.
• Like we’re doing with our current canned food drive.
• Our ministry to veterans in trouble through Zepher House.

• The Fall Festival for kids and our work with Foster Elementary School.
• Our work-and-witness trips to Mexico and other areas.
• When we provide meals for families after deaths or long hospital stays or during illnesses.

Would you rather suffer from pain than go to the doctor or dentist?

• No. I’m a wimp.
• Most of the class would go to the doctor/dentist.
• It depends on the age of the person.

How do you feel when you're in a crowded elevator or trolley?

• Claustrophobic.
• Too crowded.
• Doesn’t bother me.
• The current “situation” with COVID, etc. has made more people hyper-sensitive.
