Who's laughing now???

And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. And the report of this went through all that district. (Matthew 9:23-26 ESV) The synagogue leader had come to Jesus in sincere faith, believing He could heal his daughter. Even when it was known she was dead, he still did not hesitate to have Jesus come. But such faith seemed laughable to those around him. These friends, or "supposed to be" friends, thought it was a joke. They were more interested in being seen as a good mourner than supporting the girl's family. They missed out. They were kicked out from seeing Jesus raise her from the dead. Then there was real laughter - that of a 12 year old girl and her rejoicing parents. And, have you ever thought of this? - Jesus laughing in joy at this rejoined family. How will we let Jesus make us laugh today?
