More than Miracles

Thursday July 6th, Mark 5: 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ). 42 Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. 43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. Jesus was more than miracles, he was also mercy. Don’t say anything about the healing was the request. To tell would set the gossip lines of communication on fire. It would define Jesus’ ministry as a miracle worker only. For the sake of mercy, he was willing to put his ministry in jeopardy. Perhaps we too are called to put our plans in jeopardy for the sake of showing mercy.
