Sometimes our differences make us wonder how we are one species! Even scripture shows our differences. In Mark 5, for example, one man rushes to Jesus for help. His daughter is dying.
Moments later, In the same story, a woman doesn’t approach Jesus for help; she comes in from behind and touches just the hem of His garment for healing.
Opposites!
The two do have something in common, however. Jesus builds their faith in ways that are as different as they are.
Jesus is also building our faith. In similar and often in very different ways, Jesus does exactly what He wants (and what we need), which is a stronger faith.
APPLICATION: Come to Jesus. It’s likely you’ve met Jesus for something head on. It’s also likely you came to Jesus in an indirect way. Jesus likely appreciates one approach over the other, but still you’re approaching. Faith building follows, and this is where it gets exciting.
