In this episode we look at the life of Jairus, and how in his desperation he reaches out to  Jesus in the hope that he could heal his daughter as she was unwell.

As Jesus was walking to Jairus' home a friend informs Jairus that his daughter had died, at that moment Jesus intervenes to curb the fear welling up in the broken-hearted father, countering with encouragement, Jesus says "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.

Jesus then tells Jairus' that his daughter was only sleeping and with the crowd gone asks her to get up and walk around, before telling them to give her something to eat.

Let Hope Arise! This weeks guide passage comes from Mark 5.
