\"\"<\/a>Last Sunday Bishop Jeremy Ashton was our celebrant and preacher, capturing everyone\u2019s \u00a0attention by referring to the \u2018sandwich\u2019 miracles of Jesus.\u00a0 The gospel reading from Mark 5 :\u00a0 21-43 tells of the faith of two very different people.<\/p>\n

Firstly, a leader of the synagogue begged Jesus to save his daughter, who was twelve years old and at the point of death.\u00a0 At the same time, a woman who had suffered bleeding for twelve years was among the crowd following Jesus to the man\u2019s home.\u00a0 In Jesus \u2019 time, women were ritually unclean and isolated from society until purified, so this sad woman had been shunned for twelve years, despite spending all she had on physicians. She believed if she could just touch Jesus\u2019 \u00a0cloak she would be healed.<\/p>\n

Despite the crowd pressing around him, Jesus felt power going forth from him and asked \u201c Who touched me ?\u201d\u00a0 The woman, falling down before him knew immediately she had been healed.\u00a0 Jesus said\u00a0 \u201c Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally another crowd of ritual mourners came to meet the official , telling him his daughter was dead, so not to trouble the \u201c Teacher.\u201d Jesus was not put off by the commotion of loud wailing and weeping, instead took \u00a0three disciples, \u00a0Peter, James and John, and the girl\u2019s parents, into the child\u2019s room, took her hand and said \u201c Little girl,\u00a0 get up.\u201d\u00a0 She immediately did so and began to walk about. He told the parents to give her something to eat.<\/p>\n

We were reminded that Jesus ate fish with those same disciples after his own death and resurrection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
