Evening: Psalm 44; Mark 5:21-43
“Talitha koum!” were the words Jesus spoke to a young girl who seemed at the point of death … “Time to get up, little girl!” he said. These were ordinary words in Aramaic, the local language that Jesus used every day. Here was a sign – because the little girl did in fact get up – of something extraordinary breaking into ordinary life, inviting her and her fearful family to trust in a power beyond their understanding. To only ever trust what you can understand doesn’t leave much room for trust, does it? Jairus chose to trust Jesus and was not disappointed.
