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)

Christian Application

This devotional encourages believers that Jesus is present even when situations seem final. He speaks life where hope has died. Bring your grief to Jesus today. Trust Him to speak life into what feels lost.

Sample Prayer

Lord, breathe life into the places where hope has died. Strengthen my faith to trust You. Amen.
