Jesus Raising Jairus Daughter

Thoughts on our first day on quarantine. 

A ruler named Jairus asked Jesus to come to his house and heal his dying daughter. On the way they learned it was too late. The little girl had died. However, Jesus told Jairus not to fear but to believe in Him.

When Jesus entered the house he told the mourners not to cry. he told them the girl was not dead but asleep. they laughed because they knew she was dead. Jesus took the girl by the hand and told her arise. She returned to life and rose from the dead.

It's hard to read the New Testament without being impressed by the many accounts of the Savior performing miracles from a woman with a fever to a girl that has been pronounced dead. Certainly one obvious massage is that Jesus Christ is the son of God, with power over all things, including our physical pains and imperfections. But another meaning is found in His words to the skeptical scribes. "That ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins." Mark 2:10  He clearly stated how he can heal both physical and spiritual.

Con amor,
Vero
