Re:Verse passage – Mark 5:21-23, 35-43(day five) Taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
We have seen in previous encounters that Jesus is in fact approachable. People coming to Him and Him listening. That’s how this interaction with a desperate father begins. “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”What we learn is that the prayers and pleas of those who seek Jesus never fall on deaf ears. He listens and He hears. There is great peace and comfort found in that truth. But Jesus goes (to her house) and He touches a dead body. Jesus is not intimidated or the least bit reserved in places that are awkward, uncomfortable, or even hopeless for us. In fact, He is confident, encouraging, and able to help (heal and bring hope). So today, welcome/bring Jesus to those most tender and vulnerable places in your heart and life that need hope, wisdom, strength, and peace. He went into their home. He touched her body. He will be there with you!!
