Luke 8:50

“But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.’”Luke 8:50

Jairus was no ordinary man.

He was known. Respected. A ruler of the synagogue.

But when his daughter was dying, his power, his influence, his wealth.

None of it could save her.

Because when death shows up, everything this world offers falls short.

And that’s when we come face to face with the truth:

Only God gives life.

Only God restores life.

And death has no power over Him.

He conquered death by His own death.

What we need in those moments isn’t panic or fear—

It’s faith.

Faith that God is good.

Faith that He is faithful.

Jesus reminded Jairus,

“Don’t listen to them. Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”

People may speak fear, but they hold no power.

Even death can speak, but Jesus has the final say.

And when Jairus believed, he held his daughter again— alive, filled with the glory of God.

Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.

Even hell cannot prevail against His Church.

So where is your focus today?

What voice are you listening to?

Look to Jesus.

He alone has the final say.
