This one of the miracles in the bible performed by Jesus that is well known by many people. After he performs these miracles everyone that saw what he had done went out and told everyone they could. In the beginning, Jesus and his disciples enter a town where they are greeted by many people in the town.

She explains how she was cast out of the city and because she was ill and had been bleeding for twelve year. She says that if she were to touch the cloak of Jesus then she would instantly be healed by him. At that moment, Jesus heals the woman and claims it wasn’t because of the cloak it was the fact she put her faith and her trust and believed that he would heal her. After the women leaves he continues to follow the man until they arrive at his home. When they do, Jesus walks inside to many people all talking and then people playing music. Jesus then claims that the girl is not dead but is simply sleeping. Everyone laughs at Jesus because they do not believe what he is saying to be true and think he is crazy. Jesus then asks everyone to leave the room and go outside leaving him alone with the girl. He heals the girl and they walk out together leaving everyone including his disciples in pure shock. Everyone is amazed and stunned and he tells everyone who saw to go at and claim what they witnessed to everyone.

Only through the power of God uplifting and sustaining her could Mary have remained there, and yes, she knew, her son was the Son of God and Saviour. Yes, she saw the crowd that came to make a spectacle of her Son. Ringing in her ears were the shouts of the crowd saying Crucify Him, crucify Him, crucify Him. She was there when He was nailed to the cross when raised between a thief that mocked Him and one who received Him (Luke 23:40-43).

Those who she talks to about the dream do not understand her true feelings, but she begins to find answers after speaking to her mother, a Baptist. Rather than keeping her focus in Judaism she starts to do research into the Christian faith by taking classes and becomes entranced with the mystery of the faith. After her somewhat reluctant realization that Jesus was Lord and Christianity was true, she begins to pull away from her Jewish roots, which is an incredibly difficult process for her. At first, she goes very far in attempting to separate from her Jewish background, she gives up much loved religious traditions, gives away her Jewish books, and even breaks contact with old Jewish friends.

  • A Critical Analysis Of Salvation By Langston Hughes

    We can define the word salvation as deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ. One can be saved by accepting Jesus Christ into your life, but this wasn’t the case for Langston Hughes when he wrote “Salvation”. Having portrayed himself as a young teenage boy when this piece was written and using the first person perspective, the pressure he felt wanting to actually see and feel Jesus is the main reason why he ruined it for himself, and he was not “saved”. The first two lines even say “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved.”

From the time that Jesus was placed in Mary, God knew His plan for Jesus and what He would have to do one day. God knew when he spoke man into existence that we would be sinless creatures in need of an almighty Savior. Even though I, and many others, hate to think about what our Savior went through, I believe it is important.
