These are words from our Lord! He is speaking to a father who has just learned his twelve year old daughter has died.
Mark 5:36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."
Faith is the only remedy against grief and fear! We, as Christians, have peace through the Holy Spirit!
We have grace and comfort through the Holy Spirit while we walk through trials, but we also have the love of other Christians, our pastors and families. If we believe that Christ died and that He is risen, then we need not fear! It is by His command that we have life! We were dead in sin and we have risen to new life! This faith from God that is offered is a precious gift, making us able to stand on His promise!
Heb.4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Romans 8:3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God
Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him
How glorious is Your name in all the earth Lord Jesus!!Amen
