Full Background of Jairus
Luke 8:41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
It's so easy to overlook the power impact the Spirit has upon us! It's easy to overlook who we used to be before Jesus. Almost unrecognizable and I wonder, would we be welcomed in our churches now? The human mind can only process what it see's before it but God see's the person from start to finish!
Jairus was desperate here and came to Jesus begging at His feet! This would be a big deal but given Jairus background, it's even greater! Going back just one chapter, Jesus healed the Centurions servant girl, he was the finance of the synagogue where Jarius ruled from. Jesus had miraculously healed a man's paralysis in the synagogue on the sabbath. Jesus was not welcomed back! Jarius no doubt was part of this rejection of Jesus! How much influence did the centurion have over Jarius? Well, when his only daughter was dying, that testimony of the centurion was pounding heavily in his mind. "I know Jesus is wrong but what if He is who He says and claims to be?" "I know this may cost me my cush job by the religious leaders, but what do I have to lose for my daughter?" All these points and more flooded Jairus' mind. His faith, not the best example, but faith no less, is more in line of most Christians experience of faith. Come and allow Jesus to break you, to humble you, and then watch Him build you up into the person of God He created you to be. We are all Jairus! Desperate for Jesus!
