Matthew 9:18-19, 23-26
“Jesus took the little girl by the hand and she got up.”
The professional mourners laughed at Jesus, so He threw them out of the house. His power is strongest in the presence of believers. No mocking allowed. Get the mockers out of your life and surround yourself with believers when some life saving power is needed. Jesus had such mercy on that little girl and her family. Imagine how she became a walking legend in her neighborhood and community. The girl that Jesus brought back to life.
The passages in Mark 5:22-43 and Luke 8:41-56 tell us that Jesus said, “…give her something to eat.” It is amazing when we are feeling weak and hungry, even just a little weak, how we gain such strength and instantly feel better when food---especially some natural sugar, like in grapes, dates, figs, apples, oranges, bananas, or even a chocolate chip cookie, hits our tongue. Ah, renewed mental acuity. God is so awesome to have created us so intricately that we gain strength from a simple food touching our tongue---and sending nourishment and stimuli to our brains! I am grateful for taste buds!
News travels fast. Jesus, continue to let good news of your love, power, and mercy travel into all the land of Israel and here.
