Just have Faith!

For Sunday, May 28, 2023:

Mark 5:5 NLT: “Messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”

"It ain't over 'til it's over." The NY Mets were trailing the Cubs by 9-1/2 games, but somehow rallied to win the NL East. Baseball great Yogi Berra explained, "It ain't over 'til it's over."

Christians have a similar lesson: “It’s not over until you’ve given the situation to Jesus.” Jarius, the synagogue leader, was told that his sick daughter finally died. There seemed to be no point in asking for Jesus’ help now. Not true! Jesus has power over evil spirits, sickness and disease. Jesus has power over life and death. With Jesus on your side, “"It ain't over 'til it's over!"

Jesus told the little girl who had died to get up. He took her by the hand and helped her do just that! She stood and walked around! Jesus told them to get her something to eat.

Jesus told the girl’s father, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith!”
