Tonight i was Reading Mark 5:21-43 and in those verses you find the story of Jesus who heals the little Girl but before he heals the Girl the someone says she has died and the synagogue ruler says why bother the teacher anymore.
Jesus replies and says in verse 36 “Don’t be Afraid – Just Believe”
Why this stood out for me is the fact that how many times have we ourselves been in situations and virtually found it so distressing that one actually feels afraid of that situation and most people want to give up – i personally have been in many situations where it feels like no hope is left and i know exactly how it feels – have you ever been or felt afraid of a given situation ……………??
and just like the synagogue ruler said “don’t bother the teacher anymore” he basically gave up and thought the situation is hopeless as the little girl had died. All of us have had such times of feeling hopeless that it scares us and in turn we become afraid.
Its a fine example of how we loose hope and in turn start to get afraid in general with the situation.
No matter what the situation Jesus says “Dont be afraid – Just Believe'”
So next time you feel afraid remember those simple words from Jesus – JUST BELIEVE
