At this time, Jesus was back in Galilee… when Jairus frantically beseeched Him to come and heal his beloved little girl. Now Jairus was a Jewish layman responsible for the upkeep of the synagogue plus monitoring the services and choosing the Torah readings, etc. He was very highly respected in the community…so it was odd that he not only knew who Jesus was but was aware of the many healings He had performed. So much so, that Jairus had sought Jesus out, knowing He could heal his daughter. They had not yet made it to Jairus’s home when someone rushed up to tell them the child had just died. What Jesus said next to Jairus did not dwell on her death, but on his faith. “Don’t be afraid just believe and she will be healed.” Jesus wanted Jarius to focus on faith not fear. That’s because hopelessness creeps in on the heels of fear. Or as Ecclesiastes 9:4 says, “Anyone who is among the living has hope.” And true to His word, Jeus took ahold of the little girl’s hand and raised her up healed and whole from her deathbed.
