TheytoldJairustoleaveJesusalone;thesemendidnotthinkJesuscouldhelp.
However,JesustoldJairustokeepbelievingandnottobeafraid.
WhentheyarrivedatJairus’house,therewerelotsofpeoplecryingaboutthedeathofJairus’daughter.
Jesusaskedthem,‘whyareyoucrying?Thechildisonlyasleep!’.
ThepeoplelaughedatJesus;theyknewthatthelittlegirlwasdead.
However,JesustookJairusandhiswifeintothelittlegirl’sroom.Hewentstraightovertothelittlegirlandsaid,’getup!’.
Anddoyouknowwhathappenednext?Letthechildrenrespond.
Thelittlegirlgotupandbegantowalkaround.Howamazing!
Application:Jairuswaswillingtodoanythingtohelphislittlegirl;evenwhenitseemedliketherewasnohopeJairusstillhadfaithinJesusthatHecouldhealhisdaughter.Often,whenwearefacedwithproblemsandfears,itcanbeveryhardtotrustinGod,butweshouldfollowJairus’exampleandtrustevenwhenwearefacedwithahardsituation.
Inthisstory,JesusshowedthatHeisalwaysincontrolevenwhenitseemstoolate;thesickladywashealedafterallthoseyearsofsufferingandthelittlegirlwasbroughtbacktolife.Jesussimplyasksthatwehavefaithandbelieve,justlikeJairusandthesickwoman,becauseHeisalwaysincontrolandwillneverletusdown.JesusbroughtnewlifeinChristandHecanbringnewlifetoustoo,ifwetrustandbelieveintheLordJesusChrist,thatHediedforoursins,wasburiedandroseagain.
