Luke 8 tells us Jairus' daughter is saved after dying by Jesus Christ. And Jairus faced supreme grief to find Jesus was busy and had walked by too late to help his 12 year old daughter.
God Himself gave us Scripture to explain Scripture.
2 Peter 3:11b-18
What sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
And let's not forget the Great and Good News of Luke 8. Jairus and his wife found Jesus caused their 12 year old daughter to Live.
2 Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
2 Peter 3 The first paragraph Agrees with Jesus, trouble exists in this life. Remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles - have faith in all trials in life.
Scoffers scoff - when will 'that happen' ? God says this is part of problem solving and happens just about the time the problem is finished. Jesus Himself was patient with His own Mother, Brothers and Sisters.
We all want Father God to speak the Blessing of Jabez.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10 Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
Jabez was pretty impudent to ask God. Beyond his circumstances labelled by life.
Jesus found Jairus to be this honorable. And we do not see Jairus flop like a fish, create a scene, jump up and down saying he was the ruler of the Synagogue. Except like the woman from Tyre, Jairus really placed Himself at the feet of Jesus. And like the woman from Tyre, Jesus seemed too busy.
The Blessing of Jabez was not to feel pain. Jairus certainly did not give Jesus any pain or harm. He knew Jesus was God. Exactly like the woman from Tyre. The anger of man does not produce the Righteousness of God. According to James, who grew up with Jesus. Self-control is a Fruit of the Spirit - especially when addressing God Himself. A Blessing of Jabez, going along with faith and trust in the Goodness of God.
Faith, Fear
and the Giant God Gong
for being oddly a worrier or fearful or complaining
to God and asking Him about a lot of things that might Irritate the Almighty God of All
Jesus told the woman who reached out and touched the fringe of His Garment without asking - proved - The Spirit prays for us when we need God more than words say. And Jesus then recognized Power went out from ... "Him." We do not save ourselves, Salvation is a Gift of God.
Father God tells us to Him all hearts are open, no secrets are hidden. Father God tells us to pray impudently to a friend. To ask about everything. And give thanks. Sometimes this genuine thanks can take an hour. To find, now, what was good about that?
Jairus is a declaration of Faith as well.
Jairus asked God and then gave God permission to be God. Jairus did quite a few things right.
- Asking
- Being impudent to reach past the circumstances of life and ask. Jairus was a 'ruler' and all that, after all.
- Being humble to God, realizing Him as God.
- Being Patient. Believing something good was coming from not flopping like a fish. Pushed to being Strong.
- Not throwing a jealous fit God would stop to talk to a mere woman.
- Not stopping God by saying, "Too Late."
- Like Jabez, Jairus swallowed his own pain to allow God the Majesty of Being God.
Father God,
We Thank You for Renewing Your Mercies Every Day. Help us to keep our truths. Help us to build our Blessings You've given to being the people You call as Your Beloved. Help us to Please You. We ask more of You for Willing Blessings.
When life is overwhelming. When our prayers grow in number and the times we are frantic, we ask Your Love and Your Name carry and strengthen us. I ask You for the Goodness of God for the People You call Beloved. I ask for our Seeking You First and the Kingdom of Heaven to give us lives of Love, Peace and Joy.
The Disciples You told us in John 6 were fearful. You never left them. In many different storms, You say immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
Bless all our prayer concerns as we know as You found Nathanael - You hear our prayers. And we know Your Comfort.
To be with the saints in the Number when You march in. To have and find and dwell knowing more Heaven on earth. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
The Radical Message of the Gospel of Jesus
changed the face of the world.
16 years after Jesus died, the Emperors of Rome began
a 300 year world wide search to end the Gospels we readily have today.
The University of Michigan has 300 intact Chapters of the New Testament from the late first century or early 2nd Century called Papyrus 46, all the Chapters are called Papyrus 46. The Gospels changed lives to renew Love, increase Hope, save lives and change the world.
We will lift up the cares of God's Good Creation and put Jesus on the Throne of God and for His Glory we will Trust all the Nations to come to His Brightness.
We will join the Communion of the Saints asking Jesus for more Heaven on earth. Seeking God first. And find His Commandment to Love one another.
Beloved of God, Jesus live in us always. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
