Jairus has just lost his daughter he finds out on his way back to see her. The reason he left her sick bed was to ask Jesus to touch her and heal her. Jairus ran to see Jesus. When he left his daughter was still alive. But now on his way back with Jesus some men tell him do not bother Jesus your daughter is dead (v.35). But Jesus tells Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe."
How difficult is it to believe at times of pain and hurt. When your hope appears to be gone. This world is filled with so many tragic stories but here you can read a firm strong voice saying "Don't be afraid; just believe." Jesus is asking you in spite of what people tell you believe in Him. No matter how bad the situation looks believe in Him. Placing your faith in Jesus will open you up to wonders of possibilities you once thought were impossible. Jesus can take you places you have never been and show you things you have never seen. Will you take that step of faith and believe in God's only Son, the Holy and Righteous One, Jesus Christ.
You can take the time now and just say: Jesus I do believe you are God's Son and died on the cross for my sins to rise again from the grave on the third day all to forgive me of all my sins. I will trust you with my whole life and learn to follow you and not be afraid and just believe in you.
