All the odds were against him. His daughter was dying. Jesus promised, “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” So many were the obstacles in the way of his miracle. He was in a hurry. Please let the crowds disperse, he wished, it’s an emergency! “Please hurry Jesus!”, he wanted to say. He couldn’t get to do it. And then the woman with the issue of blood touches Him. Jesus asks, “Who touched me?”Further delay. By now news arrives that his daughter is dead. Now he is desperate. He said, “just believe”, didn’t He? Finally, Jesus goes with him to his house. He sees people wailing and mourning. Jesus says “She’s only sleeping.”The people begin to mock now and Jesus throws them out and raises Jairus’ daughter back to life.
No situation is so desperate that Jesus cannot work. Disease, delays, and even death are under His control. Jesus goes with you to the place of disappointment and sorrow and meets your needs. No matter how depressing your situation may appear like Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” Amen ( a message from Pastor Deepak)
