Jairus was a synagogue ruler but a more than that important designation was his incredible faith. He came to Jesus after his daughter died and asked him to lay his hands on her so that she would live. Isn’t that extraordinary? Asking someone to raise your child from the dead only meant that he trusted the testimony of Jesus that much and was willing to bet his dignity on Him. I’m sure Jesus went with Him out of sheer joy at being asked for something so great. On entering his home Jesus literally asks the mourners and the crowd to go away because “the girl is not dead but asleep”. That’s God in the flesh right there. Only God could see life in a seemingly dead situation.
If your life or a situation or a relationship has seemed close to death of late, maybe it’s time you brought the Life-Giver into it so that he could breathe freshness and vitality into an otherwise hopeless and dead situation.
While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”
When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. News of this spread through all that region.
