5:35
People came to Jairus and told him that his daughter was dead, so there was no point bothering “the teacher anymore”. This, of course, was not true, there was every point “bothering the teacher”. We should never give up on “bothering Jesus”, many incidents and teachings from Jesus tell us that, such as the persistent widow.
5:36
Jesus overheard what they were telling Jeus, His word to Jairus was “Don’t be afraid; just believe”. This does pose a question to us. There is a point where “believing for something” is just refusing to face up to reality, but at the same time God can and does do amazing things, things that usurp “reality”. How do we answer this? I believe that the key is a relationship with Christ, if we try to make “rules” about it we will get nowhere good.
