Jesus Heals a Woman & Jairus' Daughter

Crowds may press in all around us, but only one touch of faith can draw the power of Christ. In the story of Jairus and the woman who reached for the hem of Jesus’ garment, one came publicly and one came in secret, but both came desperate and both were met with mercy. The same Savior who stopped for a broken woman and called her “daughter” is the same Savior who took a little girl’s hand and said, “Child, arise.” In both, we see that no one is too far, too unclean, or too late for the power of Jesus to reach.

This is what faith looks like when everything seems lost. It is not about how strong we feel, but who we reach for. Jesus still walks with the broken, still touches the untouchable, still brings life where death has settled in. When we believe, when we reach for Him, He restores what was lost and gives us a new name and a new life. Today is the day to believe, to rise, and to walk in that living faith.
