Jairus’s situation seemed hopeless. His daughter died before he could reach Jesus for help. Yet Jesus instructed him to keep on trusting Him, then brought the young girl back to life. We too may face seemingly hopeless difficulties. Alistair Begg challenges us not to allow circumstances to overturn our faith but to use our faith in Christ as a basis upon which to face our circumstances.
35While he was still speaking, there came from qthe ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why rtrouble sthe Teacher any further?” 36But overhearing5 what they said, Jesus said to qthe ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37And he allowed no one to follow him except tPeter and James and uJohn the brother of James. 38They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus6 saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39And when he had entered, he said to them, v“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but wsleeping.” 40And they laughed at him. But he xput them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41yTaking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, zarise.” 42And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
