1. The woman’s miracle resulted from her initiative, in that she determined where, how, and when it would take place: (a) In the crowd; (b) By faith through a personal touch; and (c) Then and There.
2. The miracle of healing was unexpected and surprised Jesus, whose thoughts were on the healing of a man’s dangerously ill daughter.
3. The miracle came through a bold act of desperation driven by twelve years of medical failures and financial ruin.
4. The miracle, though spectacular in nature and transformational in impact, took place privately between two persons, though in a crowded public place.
5. The miracle took place when the Super changed the natural. The Super needs the natural, just as the natural needs the Super, for a miracle to take place.
6. The miracle was unprecedented, in that it introduced the idea of Personal Responsibility to a people whose religion elevated Divine Sovereignty.
7. The miracle shows that a fast act of faith in one person may require a steady attitude of faith in another. In delaying Jesus, the woman’s act of desperation required Jairus to put aside his fear and instead focus on faith.
