As Jesus is engaged in ministry, a messenger arrives with devastating news for Jairus, a synagogue leader who had sought Jesus' help for his sick daughter. The message is stark: the girl has died, and the messenger suggests that Jesus' intervention is no longer necessary. This moment captures a common human experience—facing situations that appear beyond hope. However, it also sets the stage for a powerful demonstration of Jesus' authority over life and death. In the verses that follow, Jesus encourages Jairus to have faith and not be afraid, ultimately raising the girl from the dead. This narrative highlights the importance of faith and the belief that Jesus can bring restoration and life, even in the most desperate circumstances. It reassures believers that Jesus' power transcends the limitations of human understanding and that His presence brings hope and transformation.
While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
