 Jairus' Daughter
It is obvious that Jairus knew all about Jesus' enlightening teachings, and
because of His miraculous ministry, he was convinced of His power. Jairus
believes Christ's presence in his home is necessary and so beseeches Him to
come and touch his daughter.
Notice the details that Mark and Luke add about this girl: Mark records that
her father calls her "my little daughter," while Luke relates that she was an
only child, highlighting how precious she was to her father.
As Jesus walks to Jairus' home, a friend informs Jairus of the sad news, "Your
daughter is dead." In the Greek, "dead" is placed first for emphasis; it literally
reads, "Dead is your daughter." Such a statement would have been devastating
but being in Christ's presence gave the grief-stricken father hope. Jesus is
seen as the Encourager. He is willing, even eager, to help the sick and dying.
Though He refuses to flaunt His power, He is quick to glorify the God of
powerful healing.
As soon as Jesus overhears the news, He intervenes to curb the fear welling
up in the brokenhearted father, countering with encouragement: "Do not be
afraid; only believe, and she will be made well." With a word of hope, He
changes the father's focus, and with gentleness and compassion, comforts
him. In II Corinthians 5:5-7, the apostle Paul assures us that our consolation
abounds through Christ.
The most profound of all the miracles Jesus performed during His earthly
ministry are those in which He resurrected someone. The New Testament
records three of these resurrection miracles, including the raising of a widow's
son, of Jairus' daughter, and of Lazarus.
