Exclusion and Embrace - Week 6

Kyle Costello speaks about Mark 5. Throughout the series we have been looking at the way Jesus embraces and invites people to know him, his love, and his mission. Today, we continue down that path but with a tweak. Today we ask, how do we live his embrace? What does it look like when we accept him for who he is and then actually live out the grace and mercy he has given us. To put it more clearly, how do we live as people who are practicing their faith? The story of Jairus that is linked with the bleeding woman in the Bible is a remarkable picture of what it means to live faith. From the beginning to the end the author shows us how to not just know about Jesus, but know Jesus; not just to like him but trust him; and not just be a fan of him but devote our everything to him.
