So what happens when a man who is confined by time, consumed by time, or the lack of it, who is very aware that it is NOT his ally comes in contact with a man who has existed outside of time for eternity? Jesus transcends time. For Jesus, time is only relevant in that it gives a marker for when He decides to sovereignly carry out His purpose, desire, and will. Jesus is about to give Jairus a taste of eternity, a perspective that gives great hope in the face of death and a great new vision for the life we have on this earth.
