Itβs not over, until Jesus says itβs over.
All the odds were against him. His daughter was dying. Jesus promised, βDonβt be afraid, just believe.βΒ So many were the obstacles in the way of his miracle. He was in a hurry. Please let the crowds disperse, he wished, itβs an emergency! βPlease hurry Jesus!β, he wanted to say. He couldnβt get to do it. And then the woman with the issue of blood touches Him. Jesus asks, βWho touched me?βΒ Further delay. By now news arrives that his daughter is dead.Β Now he is desperate.Β He said, βjust believeβ, didnβt He?Β Finally, Jesus goes with him to his house. He sees people wailing and mourning. Jesus says βSheβs only sleeping.βΒ The people begin to mock now and Jesus throws them out and raises Jairusβ daughter back to life.
No situation is so desperate that Jesus cannot work. Disease, delays, and even death are under His control. Jesus goes with you to the place of disappointment and sorrow and meets your needs. No matter how depressing your situation may appear like Jairus, "Do not be afraid; only believeβ.
