“𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗣?” (𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝟱:𝟯𝟵)

When the Lord healed the sick, He did not say that they  would  be  cured  if  they  kept  the  Law  faithfully  or  did  many  good  deeds.  He  just  told  them  not  to  fear  and  believe  in  Him.  This  means  that  if  we  just  believe  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  then  our  wishes  will  come  true.  Even  the  dead  can  be  brought  back  to  life.  Any  and  all  problems  can be solved away. That is what our Lord is saying to us through today’s Scripture passage. 

The problem, however, is that more often than not, we rely on something else other than Jesus. Even though we  know  that  it’s  useless  to  seek  help  from  anyone  else,  we  still  think  in  our  fleshly  minds,  “It  will  be different  this   time. I am sure it will turn out differently.” Therefore, we must    boldly cast aside all such inclinations, and recognize that only Jesus can solve our problems  and  only  He  can  make  our  dreams  come  true.  And you must realize that your problems are solved only when you ask the Lord for His help, trusting in Him and saying,  “Lord,  I  believe  in  you  alone.”  This  is  what  our  Lord is saying to us here.  

All that we have to do is just believe in Jesus. We only  have  to  believe  that  our  sins  have  disappeared  thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus came to this earth a long, long time ago, and He already bore all our sins by being  baptized  in  the  Jordan  River.  If  you  just  believe  that  Jesus  shouldered  all  the  sins  ever  committed  from  the  day  you  were  born  to  the  day  you  die,  each  and  every sin ever committed either with your heart or your acts,  then  you  will  surely  receive  the  remission  of  sins  and become a righteous person. 

As  our  Jesus  is  almighty,  faithful,  and  true,  if  we  pray to Him and trust in Him, He will answer us without fail. However, the problem is that rather than relying on Him  and  asking  Him  for  His  help,  we  put  more  trust  in  the liars around us. We go to this quack and that quack, asking for their help and offering all we have, and when this does not work, only then do we return to Jesus and seek  His  help.  Perhaps  that  is  why  Jesus  waited  for  the  daughter  of  the  head  of  the  synagogue  to  die  in  today’s  Scripture passage. Perhaps He waited for the daughter to die,  so  that  Jairus  would  place  all  his  hope  on  Jesus  alone. 

What  is  our  Lord’s  desire  for  us? ...
