"Bible Fathers (4)"
Bible Reading: Mark 5:21-24, 35-43Mark 5:21 Yeshua crossed in the boat to the other side of the lake, and a great crowd gathered around him. 22 There came to him a synagogue official, Ya’ir by name, who fell at his feet 23 and pleaded desperately with him, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please! Come and lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and live!”

24 He went with him; and a large crowd followed, pressing all around him.

35 While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house came, saying, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the rabbi any longer?” 36 Ignoring what they had said, Yeshua told the synagogue official, “Don’t be afraid, just keep trusting.” 37 He let no one follow him except Kefa, Ya‘akov and Yochanan, Ya‘akov’s brother. 38 When they came to the synagogue official’s house, he found a great commotion, with people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 On entering, he said to them, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead, she’s just asleep!” 40 And they jeered at him. But he put them all outside, took the child’s father and mother and those with him, and went in where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand, he said to her, “Talita, kumi!” (which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42 At once the girl got up and began walking around; she was twelve years old. Everybody was utterly amazed. 43 He gave them strict orders to say nothing about this to anyone, and told them to give her something to eat.

Jairus was a man who loved God. Our Bible Reading tells us that Jairus' daughter was sick and dying. Jairus came to Jesus and begged Jesus to heal his daughter.
As Jesus was going to Jairus' house, some men came and told Jairus that his daughter had died. But Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe" (verse 36b). Jesus went to Jairus' house. He went to the room where Jairus' daughter was. Jesus said, "'Little girl, I tell you to stand up!' The girl stood up and began walking" (verses 41b-42a).
Jairus went to Jesus because he knew that Jesus could help him. Sometimes when we have a problem, we work and work to solve the problem. Then when we don't know what to do, we pray and ask for help. But we should pray first!
If you are facing problems today - financial problems, sickness, divorce, the death of a loved one - be sure to pray and ask God to help you.[JK]
[Jesus said,] "Why are you people crying and making so much noise? This child is not dead. She is only sleeping."[Mark 5:39b]
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I want to always ask You for help when I have a problem. In Jesus' name. Amen.
