Week 5: Matthew 9

This week in class we read and discussed more of Christ's miracles. When discussing the story of Jairus found in Matthew 9 I was struck by one of the lessons Christ was teaching me. It does no good to try to rush the Savior and get him to comply to our time table. Jairus tried to hurry Christ along and was devastated when Christ was too slow and his daughter died. However, Jairus did not curse God he remained faithful and when he really needed Christ, He came and raised the girl from the dead. Many things in this life are out of our control but as long as we rely on Christ, remain faithful to him, and trust in His timing, I know he will be there for us.
