While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.(Luke 8:49-56 ESV)
Today is the great day - the Resurrection. For each of us it is a watershed day - a day of hope, or a day of hopelessness. Is Jesus the real deal? HE IS RISEN INDEED! He has the power of life. He is life. Like Jairus and the first followers, there is hope for today, tomorrow, and the life to come, because Jesus has the power of resurrection. Do not fear; only believe.
