# 377- Today's Living Word comes from Mr 5:21-24 “Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live." So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.”
As Mark relates the account of the encounter with Jairus and the subsequent raising of his daughter from the dead, one thing stands out and that is the urgency of the moment.
Put yourself in Jairus' place and feel his utter helplessness as his young daughter lies at the point of death. Jairus is desperate, as any parent would be in this situation. He was so desperate that even though he was an elder in the synagogue, a leader in a church that was mostly opposed to Jesus and anything about Him, he still came humbly to Jesus begging Him to intervene and bring His healing powers to bear on his daughter.
He was putting a lot on the line here, but it doesn't matter. This is urgent, this is desperate. And Jesus went with him. Jesus will go with you. He will come with you in your hour of desperation and urgency. Ask Him.
