Natural emotions and Unnatural events. An illustration from Mark 5

Natural emotions and Unnatural events meeting together results in Miracles and Healing.

• The man lived in the tomb- no one was strong enough to subdue and tame him- Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him in homage- Jesus gave them permission and had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!- Go home to your family and tell them all the great things that the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy on you.” 20 So he [obeyed and] went away and began to publicly proclaim in Decapolis [the region of the ten Hellenistic cities] all the great things that Jesus had done for him; and all the people were astonished.

• One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up; and seeing Him, fell at His feet and begged anxiously with Him, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; [please] come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.” And Jesus went with him; and a large crowd followed Him and pressed in around Him from all sides. While He was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue official’s house, saying [to Jairus], “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher any longer?” Overhearing what was being said, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; only keep on believing [in Me and my power]. When He had gone in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.” People began laughing scornfully at Him because they knew the child was dead. But He made them all go outside, and took along the child’s father and mother and His own three companions, and entered the room where the child was. Taking the child’s hand, He said tenderly to her, “Talitha kum!”—which translated from Aramaic means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”. The little girl immediately got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they who witnessed the child’s resurrection were overcome with great wonder and utter amazement.

• A woman in the crowd had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years, and had endured much suffering at the hands of many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse. She had heard reports about Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His outer robe. For she thought, “If I just touch His clothing, I will get well.” Immediately her flow of blood was dried up; and she felt in her body [and knew without any doubt] that she was healed of her suffering.  Immediately Jesus, recognizing in Himself that power had gone out from Him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched My clothes?”. Still He kept looking around to see the woman who had done it. And the woman, though she was afraid and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. Then He said to her, “Daughter, your faith your persona trust and confidence in Me has restored you to health; go in peace and be permanently healed from your suffering.”
