Jesus Raises Jairus' Daughter Back to Life
By all accounts, this miracle seems late. Jarius comes late in his daughter’s sickness, and Jesus gets waylaid by someone else’s daughter. Then the miracle that Jarius asks for doesn't even seem possible anymore. But even when Jairus’ daughter dies and hope for a miracle dies too, he still leads Jesus to his house and through a laughing crowd to the very spot where his daughter lies. And, when face to face with death, Jesus speaks words of life to her. Sometimes the Lord acts in a timely manner to our finite eyes. And sometimes, He seems late, but when we lead Him to the places that seem dead like Jarius did, He astounds us.
Questions for Reflection
- Is there something or someone in your life that seems too far gone for a miracle?
- What does this miracle story tell you about the character of God?
- What has God done in your life to amaze you?
About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
