24 hours: Fear filled Days

24 hours: Fear filled Days by ric gustafson


In Mark chapter 5, we read of a man named Jairus. He is the city leader of Capernaum and he is seeking Jesus. He goes to the shore
seeking Jesus and finds him surrounded by a multitude. When he sees Jesus, he falls onto his knees. He tells Jesus that his daughter is at death's door and will he come and put his hands on her. He agrees and they walk toward his house. All of a sudden, Jesus stops. He turns and asks who touched his clothes?. Jairus
cannot see who it is who comes forward from the crowd. He frowns
because seconds is passing and his daughter is dying. A short time later, a servant tells him that his daughter is dead.
Jesus tells Jairus to not be afraid but to just believe. He enters Jairus's home with Peter, James and John. He tells them that the child is not dead but sleeping. He tells the child to rise and she gets up and walks. Jesus tells us to not be afraid but to trust him always.
