The Daughter of Jairus: Life Returned by a Touch

A devotional reflection on Jesus raising Jairus’s daughter.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus brings life where others see only loss. Jairus’s daughter lay dead, mourners already gathered. Yet Jesus spoke words of hope and took her by the hand. Life returned instantly. This miracle reveals His authority over death and His compassion toward grieving families.

Why troublest thou the Master? (Mark 5:35)

Be not afraid, only believe. (Mark 5:36)

Talitha cumi. (Mark 5:41)
