Matthew 9:18-26

A girl restored to life and a healed woman.
For parallels see Mk 5:21-43 and Lk 8:40-56.
v.18 The synagogue leader was responsible for the administration of the synagogue and its building. The parallels in Mark and Luke name the leader as Jairus. His daughter has just died and he wants Jesus to bring her back to life by the laying on of hands.
v.19-21 Jesus and the disciples go with Jarius as requested. On the way, a woman suffering for twelve years with constant bleeding touch the fringe of his robe in order to receive healing.
v.22 Jesus turning around and seeing the woman tells her that “your faith has made you well.” She was healed at that moment. She wasn't worried about the "correct" way to approach God, but instead just reached out to Jesus in faith. We would do well to do the same. God can change the unchangeable situation and bring healing to our lives.
v.23-24 Arriving at the ruler's house, Jesus tells the crowd to go outside, for the girl is not dead but only asleep. The crowd laughed at Jesus.
v.25-26 After the crowd had been put out of the house, Jesus took the girl by the hand and she got up! The report of this miracle sweep through the area. Jesus can do the impossible. Whatever your situation, emotional pain, addiction, broken relationship, or whatever hopeless situation the plagues your life, come to Jesus.
