Home  “ While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”  Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”   [Luke 8:49-50]    “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”  J airus, a ruler of the synagogue, was especially anxious to see Jesus because he had a twelve year old daughter who was dying.  He urgently begged Jesus to go with him quickly. But the multitudes thronged Him, hindering His progress. Meanwhile a messenger arrived with the news that Jairus’ daughter was dead, and that therefore the Teacher’s services would no longer be needed. There was faith that He could heal, but none that He could raise the dead. Jesus answered with words of comfort, encouragement, and promise. “Do not be afraid; only believe and she will be made well. ” As soon as He arrived at ...

Home  “ Naaman was the commander of the Syrian army. The LORD had helped him and his troops defeat their enemies, so the king of Syria respected Naaman very much. Naaman was a brave soldier, but he had leprosy. One day while the Syrian troops were raiding Israel, they captured a girl, and she became a servant of Naaman's wife. Some time later the girl said, "If your husband Naaman would go to the prophet in Samaria, he would be cured of his leprosy.”   [2 Kings 5:1-3]    "I am sending Naaman to you. Would you cure him of his leprosy?" W hen Naaman told the king what the girl had said, the king replied, "Go ahead! I will give you a letter to take to the king of Israel."    Naaman....carried the letter to the king of Israel. It said, "I am sending my servant Naaman to you. Would you cure him of his leprosy?"     When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes in fear and shouted, "That Syrian king believe...

Home  “ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life . For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”   [John 3:15-17]    John 3:16  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.”   [2 Timothy 4:2-5]    Lessons From The Airplane  I n order to learn how to fly, you need to find your way to the runway. In order to land correctly, you must start making decisions miles away from where you touch down, when the airport looks like a tiny postage stamp far away. In this passage, Paul was nearly there. His landing gear was locked, and he would soon touch down on the runw...
