"While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done."
Today's lesson is another example of the amazing life and soul saving power of faith in God through Jesus Christ.
There didn't appear to be anyone present, among those who had gathered, at the girls home who demonstrated enough faith to help the girl, therefore, Jesus raised the young girl from the dead expressing His own faith in God that His wishes would be fulfilled.
This lesson tells us that anything we, as born again children of God, ask through Jesus Christ, will be given to us by God the Father, just as He resurrected that young girl because of the faith of Jesus.
We, the children of God, have the power at our command to control every bad thing that is thrown at us, if only we exercise our faith in God through His Son, Jesus.~
