Resurrection Life

 Numbers 19-20; Psalms 28; Mark 5 

“While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue rule. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ they said. ‘Why bother the teacher anymore?’ Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, ‘Don’t be afraid, just believe.’ Hi did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John…After he put them all out…went in where the child was.”

Mark 5:35-37, 40

The men of Jairus’ household brought the message of death; Jesus brought life.

Who will we listen to and put our faith in?

Jesus took only three of his disciples into Jairus’ home and emptied the house of all mourners. Anyone still under the influence of fear and death would not be helpful as Jesus called the twelve-year-old girl back to life. It is important to know who is in the room with us when we are praying faith-filled prayers. It is also important to know whose voice and word we are listening to. Jesus is the resurrection and the life!

“Lord Jesus, you are life. I pray your resurrection life into my friends who are facing disease, loss, and pain this day, for your glory.”
