JAIRUS, A MAN SEARCHING FOR AN EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS

1. Jairus
The major one in the synagogue... a supervisor of the service... a administrator of the synagogue.
A man who risks his own reputation when getting close to Jesus.
He puts himself at risk to lose his position because at this time, Jesus was thrown out of the synagogue in Galilee and was considered a heretic person.
But this man's need was big and he ignored the circunstances.
Because of his courage, his name became imortal when he contacted Jesus.

• Jairus choose to have a personal experience with Jesus. He illustrate the ones who have their mind open enough to learn something . He ignored the dogmas that were opposed to Jesus and experienced Christ's power.
• Jairus also represents the human necessity. He had a daughter in need, who needed Jesus's attention for her extreme situation.

2. The bad news came
Mark and Luke write that someone from Jairus house told that his daughter was dead.
"While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.” Luke 8:49
Jairus heart just stoped, in his fave you could see the agony of the separation, a big loss that crushed him.
The messenger meant " your daughter is dead and there is nothing no one can do about it, not even the Nazarene could help her now."
But the christian faith ignores rumors that the hope is dead and remind us words like : "and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Matthew 16:18 
"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." Psalm 91:7
"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die" John 11:25
At that moment Jesus tells him “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” Luke 8:50
 
3. Have faith
Jesus encourage faith on him and He shows him, he could heal his daughter even if Jairus had no faith.
Jesus decided to bring Jairus daughter to life again. And when He decides to bless someone, He does it. 
Over 2000 Years ago He decided to bless us and He said:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
How is your life?

• Jesus said: "the child is not dead, only sleeping"

It means that your life has a way to turn around - Jesus!!!!

• "They laughted at Him"

A lot of people laugh at Jesus and His words, they may think there is no way for you, but what is important is what Jesus says about you:
" My child, get up"
Doesnt matter how many bad news you have been carring, or how many burdens you are carring, Jesus can turn your heavy burden into light burden.
The last word is from Jesus, give to Him the control of your life!!!!
