Luke 8:40-56
"Don't be afraid, just believe..."
These are the words Jesus spoke to Jairus regarding his daughter. Jairus had sought Jesus to heal his daughter. Before they could get to her, Jairus receives word that his daughter has died. In that moment Jesus tells him, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."
Fear drives out faith. It is instinctive to have fear in certain situations. The issue is how we respond to the fear. Do we allow the fear to shape our lives or does faith shape us?

I wonder why Jesus told them not to tell others.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the faith to "fear not" - in any and all situations!
