开场白:“他在这儿!他在这儿!他从船上出来了!”众人聚集在海边就为了看一眼那个人。他是著名的电影明星,还是体育健将?都不是!他是耶稣。以色列遍地的人都在谈论耶稣施行的神迹以及他所说的话。他已经成了这片地土上最有名的人物,凡他去的地方,都有众人聚集,就为了看看他。
有个人名叫睚鲁,他决定穿过人群到主耶稣面前去。睚鲁可不是因为好奇心才去找这位有名人物的,而是事关生死,要向他祈求。
睚鲁是个管会堂的,会堂是犹太人敬拜的地方。许多管会堂的犹太人都不曾求神完美的儿子主耶稣做过事,但是睚鲁知道他的确需要耶稣的帮助。你看看,睚鲁12岁的女儿正在家中奄奄一息,没有一个医生救得了她。
看到主耶稣,睚鲁俯伏在耶稣的脚前。虽然他是个有身份的人,可他不在乎别人怎么看待他,只管祈求耶稣的帮助。他全心全意恳求道:“我的小女儿快要死了,求你去按手在她身上,使她痊愈,得以活了。”睚鲁知道,如果没有耶稣的医治,他小女儿就会死去。
福音:你知道吗?没有耶稣的帮助,你我都将遭遇永远的灭亡。《罗马书》6:23说:“因为罪的工价乃是死;惟有神的恩赐,在我们主基督耶稣里,乃是永生。”《圣经》中,神用他真实的话语告诉我们:我们生来就是罪人,并在继续选择犯罪,喜欢走自己的路,比如:贪婪、好争第一、想要在人前得着最多最好的东西。不尊重你的父母,甚至想些卑鄙的事情,也是罪。圣洁的神说,罪的工价就是灭亡。灭亡就意味着与神、与他美妙的天国隔绝,永远呆在一个可怕的地方遭受火的煎熬,那个地方叫做地狱。然而神并不愿意你与他隔绝。造你的神非常爱你,他对你的今生乃至永远有一个奇妙的计划。神差派主耶稣来赎你的罪,为你而死。你还记得神完美的儿子被恶人毫无理由地钉上十字架的故事吗?可是在这一切发生之先,耶稣却说:“人子必须受许多苦,被(长老祭司长和文士)弃绝,并且被杀,第三日复活。”这位人子耶稣说的是他必须为你我的罪受苦。神承认他为我们的罪而死,流出的宝血能除去本属我们的惩罚。耶稣第三日复活了,现在他正在天上。因着耶稣为你做的这一切,当你信靠他时,你就白白得着一份礼物——永恒的生命!倘若没有耶稣的帮助,你就将遭到灭亡。
睚鲁知道,没有耶稣的帮助,他心爱的女儿随时都会死去。他进到人群中,不以祈求耶稣为耻。《马可福音》5:24记载到:“耶稣就和他同去。有许多人跟随、拥挤他。”
他们随着涌进睚鲁家时,睚鲁忽然意识到好些人是冲着他来的。他那时一定恐惧极了。又听见有人告诉他一个噩耗:“你的女儿死了,何必还劳动先生呢?”
睚鲁还没反应过来,耶稣就立刻说到:“不要怕,只要信!”
耶稣不许别人跟随他,只带着睚鲁和三个门徒:彼得、雅各和约翰。他可能还没见着睚鲁家里正伤心的人们,就先听到他们哭泣哀号了。犹太人有这样的习惯:有人死的那些天里,人们聚集在死者家里,大声哀哭。耶稣进到屋子里,就对他们说:“为什么乱嚷哭泣呢?孩子不是死了,是睡着了。”《圣经》告诉我们:“他们就嗤笑耶稣。”这些人既不尊重耶稣,也不信他所说的事实。毕竟,他们还是能够区别死与睡着的不同的。他们觉得自己比神完美的儿子知道得更多。
主要教导:如果你认识主耶稣作你个人的救主,那么在你的一生中也将会遇见这种人。他们也许是你的老师、校友、或者正是你的家人,不尊重主耶稣和他说的真实的话,也就是《圣经》,还会告诉你并不是神造了世界。他们改了神的诫命去适应自己的罪行。这些人用人的想法来辩论,就以为自己知道的比世界的创造者还要多!《诗篇》118:8说:“投靠耶和华,强似依赖人。”主耶稣通晓万事,他完全有能力帮助你。你想投靠他吗?想想看,有谁比这位又真又活的神还厉害的?往后你将不时受到诱惑,去怀疑神的话,但请记住:耶稣是神,他所说的话是永远真实可信的。有一天他会赏赐那些信靠顺从他话语的人。所以你要信靠主耶稣和他的话语,虽然有些人抱着轻蔑、不信的态度。
睚鲁家挤满了嗤笑我们的主耶稣真理的人们。他们不明白眼前的这位能让已死的人好像睡着一样,又站起身来。《圣经》告诉我们,耶稣把那些人都撵了出去。只带上睚鲁、睚鲁的妻子、彼得、雅各和约翰进了安放小女孩身体的屋子。睚鲁和他妻子看着耶稣拉着他们女儿的手,对她说:“大利大古米”,就是希伯来语“闺女,我吩咐你起来”的意思。
接着肯定是一阵惊叫吧。因为那女孩立时醒了、坐起身、站起来、开始行走!多奇妙的神迹!除了神,还有谁能让人从死亡的沉睡中苏醒过来,恢复健康呢?不用想,睚鲁和他妻子定是紧紧拥抱住他们的女儿,赞美感谢主耶稣!虽然其他人嗤笑主耶稣,但是他们已经信靠他了。现在他们也因着对耶稣的信得着丰厚的奖赏了。
主要教导:如果你认识主耶稣作你生命的救主,那么请继续信靠他,相信他所说的话。在主耶稣再来之前,将有越来越多的人轻蔑《圣经》,不尊重神的爱子耶稣。他们会告诉你这个世界不是神造的。他们试图改变神的律法来满足自己的罪行。他们不但会嗤笑神的话,还会嗤笑你信神的话。
《诗篇》118:8说:“投靠耶和华,强似依赖人。”人的知识和能力是多么的有限,就是最聪明的人也是如此。所有的科学家、医生、大发明家和老师加在一起都比不上赐给我们知识的那一位。如果你认识了主耶稣,那么你愿意这一周都信靠他、相信他所说的话吗?你愿意这一周里的每一天都读他的话语,并且每周至少记住一节经文吗?在小卡片上写下你想要记住的经文,把它们专门放在一处。每天复习三遍经文,能帮助你很好的记住它们。这会是你所接受的最重要的教育。你还会因为轻蔑的人们而怀疑神的话语的时候。记住,为这怀疑的罪而悔改,并求神宽恕你、帮助你信靠他而变得更刚强。
如果你还没有相信主耶稣,那么不妨今天就信靠他吧!圣经说,你已经得罪了主。圣经又说,耶稣爱你,他自愿来为了除去你的罪的刑罚而死在十字架上。现在他在天堂,等着你一信靠他就拯救你。《圣经》明明告诫人若不信就将在一个叫做地狱的地方受永刑。你现在就可以去听听“怎样成为神的孩子”,仔细跟着上面所说的。神非常爱你,今天他想给你一份美妙的礼物,那就是永远的生命!
Jesus Heals Jairus’ Daughter
Introduction: “He’s here! He’s here! He just got out of that boat!” People of all ages and walks of life gathered by the sea to catch a glimpse of this man. Was it a famous movie star, or some big name in sports? No, it was Jesus! Everywhere in the land of Israel, people were talking about the miracles Jesus did, and the things He said. He had become the most famous person in the land, and crowds gathered to see Him everywhere He went.
One man named Jairus was determined to get through the crowd to the Lord Jesus. To Jairus, it was not just curiosity to see a famous person, it was a matter of life and death.
Jairus was an important leader of the local synagogue, the Jewish place of worship. Many of the Jewish synagogue leaders did not have anything to do with the Lord Jesus, God’s perfect Son, but Jairus knew he desperately needed Jesus’ help. You see, Jairus’ 12 year old daughter was dying at home, and no doctors could help her.
Seeing the Lord Jesus, Jairus fell on his knees right at Jesus’ feet. Even though he was an important man, he didn’t care who saw him begging for Jesus’ help. With all his heart, Jairus pleaded: “My little daughter lies at the point of death: Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” Jairus knew that without Jesus’ help, his little daughter would die.
Gospel: Did you know that without Jesus’ help you and I would suffer an everlasting death? Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” God tells us in His true Word, the Bible, that we are all born as sinners, and then we continue to choose to do those sinful things, like pouting and wanting your own way, like being greedy and wanting to be first or wanting to get the most and best of everything before others. Sin is also disrespecting your parents or even thinking mean things about them. God Who is holy and perfectly pure, says the payment, or wages, for that sin is eternal death. Eternal death means separation from God and His wonderful Heaven to have to suffer eternally (forever) in a terrible place of fire called hell. But God does not want you to be separated from Him. Your Creator God loves you and has a wonderful plan for you here on earth, and for eternity! God sent the Lord Jesus to take those wages of sin for you. He died in your place. Do you remember the story of how the perfect Son of God was nailed to a wooden cross by wicked men who hated Him for no reason? Yet Jesus said, even before it happened, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected...and be slain...and be raised the third day.” Jesus the Son of man, said He MUST suffer, for your sin and mine. God allowed Him to take our punishment for sin by dying and giving His precious blood. Jesus was raised back to life the third day, and now He is in Heaven. Because of what Jesus did, you can have eternal life as a free gift when you believe in Him. But without Jesus’ help, you will suffer an eternal death.
Jairus knew that without Jesus’ help, his beloved daughter would die at any moment. Jairus was not ashamed to beg Jesus for His help, right in the middle of a great crowd of people. Mark 5:14 says, “And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him....”
As they traveled on toward Jairus’ house, suddenly Jairus recognized some people coming toward him. His heart was must’ve been filled with dread. Sure enough the people had very bad news: “Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Master anymore?
But before Jairus could respond, Jesus said quickly, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”
Then Jesus allowed no one else to continue with Him except Jairus, and the 3 disciples: Peter, James, and John. Perhaps before Jesus saw all the mourners in Jairus’ house, He heard them. The Jewish custom in those days was that many people would gather at the home of a dead person and cry and wail very loudly. When Jesus came in the house, he said to the mourners, “Why are you making all this noise and crying? The girl is not dead, she’s just asleep.” The Bible says, “And they laughed him to scorn.” These people did not honor the Lord Jesus nor believe the truth He had spoken. After all, they could tell the difference between being dead and being asleep! They thought they knew better than the perfect Son of God!
Main Teaching: If you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior, you will meet this kind of people all through your life. It might be a teacher, or your friend at school, or even those in your own family who do not honor the Lord Jesus or His true Word, the Bible. They will tell you God did not create the world. They will change God’s commandments to fit their sinful behavior. These are people who reason with their human understanding, so they think they know more than the Creator of the world! Psalm 118:8 says, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” The Lord Jesus knows everything, and He has all power to help you. Who will you choose to trust? Can you think of anyone greater than the true and living God? You will be tempted at times to doubt God’s Word, but remember: Jesus is God, and His Word will always be true. One day He will reward those who trust and obey His Word. Keep trusting the Lord Jesus and His Word, though many scorn it and do not believe.
Jairus’ house was filled with people who scorned the truth of our Lord Jesus. They did not understand that He was the One Who could raise the dead as if they had only been asleep. The Bible tells us Jesus quickly put all those people out of the house. Then taking with Him Jairus and his wife, and Peter, James and John, Jesus entered the room where the little girl’s motionless body lay. Jairus and his wife watched Jesus take their
daughter’s hand and say to her, “Talitha cumi,” which is Hebrew for “Little girl, I say to you, rise up.”
There must have been a great cry of surprise, for immediately the girl waked, sat up, then stood and began to walk! What a wonderful miracle! Who but God Himself could wake the dead from their sleep, and restore them to health? No doubt Jairus and his wife hugged their little girl tightly, and praised and thanked the Lord Jesus! Although others had scorned the Lord Jesus, Jairus and his wife had trusted Him. And now their trust in Jesus had been greatly rewarded!
Main Teaching: If you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior, keep trusting the Lord Jesus and believing His Word! Before the Lord Jesus returns, there will be more and more people who scorn the Bible and do not honor Jesus as the Son of God. They will tell you that God did not create the world. They will try to change God’s laws to fit their sinful behavior. They will not only scorn God’s Word, but they will scorn you for believing it.
Psalm ll8:8 says, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” Human knowledge and ability are so very limited, even in the most intelligent people. All the scientists, doctors, great inventors and teachers together cannot compare to the One Who gave them their knowledge! If you know the Lord Jesus, will you this week keep trusting the Lord Jesus and believing His Word? Will you this week read His Word daily and memorize at least one verse a week? Write the verses you choose to memorize on small cards and keep them in a special place. Going over those verses about 3 times daily will help you remember them. It’s the most important education you will ever receive. There will be times when scornful people cause you to doubt God’s Word. Confess that doubt as sin, and ask God to forgive and help you grow stronger in trusting Him.
If you have never believed in the Lord Jesus, won’t you trust Him today? His Word says you have sinned against the Lord. His Word says that because Jesus loved you, He willingly came and took your punishment for sin by dying on the cross. He is in Heaven now, ready to save you when you believe in Him. The Bible plainly warns that those who do not believe will suffer an eternal death in a place of fire called hell. Please go now to “How to be a Child of God” and carefully follow those steps. God loves you and wants to give you the wonderful gift of eternal life today!
