Jairus’ daughter

Jairus’ daughter – Mark 5:21-43

    Jairus had asked Jesus to heal his daughter and on the way a woman with an issue of blood was healed.  As Jesus was on His way to the house word came that the child had died.  Jesus told Jairus not to worry but believe.  Jesus went into the house and told the mourners there that the child was sleeping and not dead and of course they laughed.  Jesus does not worry about reality He is the resurrection and the life.  Jesus put the people out and then He prayed for the child and she was raised from the dead.

    Jairus believed that Jesus was the resurrection and the life and He could heal his daughter.  All Jesus had to do was touch her and she would be healed.   In the case of Jarius and the women with the issue of blood faith was the catalyst for victory.  Faith makes us well and whole.

    Jesus in both cases healed right away.  Timing and circumstances often dictate divine response.   Jesus who is the resurrection and life when faced with death will triumph every time.  Though people may laugh and scoff Jesus will prevail.

    Jesus came to free people from their suffering.  Jesus when faced with unbelief ignored it and put people out so that those who have true faith would prevail.   When a person dies their spirit goes away but at the command of God who was in the person of Jesus Christ the spirit had to return.  God is the only one who has the power of life and death.
