Do you ever wonder if God knows what you’re going through?
He’s God and you’re not, right? So how could your little life capture the
interest and attention of the Almighty?
That’s why we have a Savior. He’s one of us. He knows how we
feel.
The story of Jairus and his little girl in Mark 5 reveals
the Savior’s compassion and His power. He raised the child from the dead, after
all. Little girl, I say to you, arise (v. 41). And that’s exactly what she did.
But there’s something else in
the story that makes me love Jesus even more. After bringing her back to life, Christ told those parents to give
their daughter something to eat (v. 43).
That day Christ had
dealt with huge crowds, a distraught father, a chronically ill woman, ritual mourners who mocked Him, and a dead girl. He treated them all with grace,
patience, and infinite power. And still He was concerned that the child would be
hungry after her ordeal.
Don’t you admire Jesus!
Healer of hurts, Comforter of sorrows, Lord of life, and Champion of hungry,
worn-out children everywhere.
