Topic:
Jairus Came To Jesus
Text:
Luke 8:40 – 42
Kings
and Rulers hardly make out time to serve God. The most some of them can do is
to send messenger to the Prophet or Servant of God. Maybe the case of his only
daughter made Jairus to come to Jesus. If not that his daughter was dying,
would Jairus have come to Jesus? Think about that? Some people are so self-centered
that they only do good when it affects them.
When
Jairus came to Jesus, he fell down at His feet. It may be an evidence of his
faith in our Saviour Jesus Christ or maybe he believed Him to be God or hero
worshipping because he wanted something from Him; the healing of his daughter.
Whatever may be his reason, Jesus demonstrated His love and passion to save
souls by going immediately with him. When he came to Jesus, He (Jesus) did not
reject him or deny his request. Jesus exhibited great humility, suffering Himself
to be thronged with much people who followed Him.
Why
are you following Jesus? Why have you come to Jesus by becoming a Christian and
being in the Church? Is it because you need healing, protection, a good spouse,
deliverance, salvation, where to ease off tension after the weeks work, etc?
God
knows our hearts; those who are sincere in coming to Him and those who are not.
We should love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:9). Again, we should be
ready to go to Christ when we are in distress because He is so ready hear and
help us, if we seek Him in sincerity, though our faith maybe weak and feeble.
Ask Him today and He will answer you.
Food for
Thought: What
motivates you to go to Christ? Is it because you love Christ?
Memory verse: Luke 8:41
Prayer: Lord, may I always come to
you with sincere heart.
