Scripture: Mark 5:21-43, Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue came to Jesus begging him to come and lay hands on his daughter so that she may be made well and live. Separately, a woman who had a discharge of blood for 12 years comes to Jesus. For both, Jesus says the words for "made well". And the active voice Jesus uses clearly means more than a physical healing. After being made well, Jesus says to the woman, your faith has saved you. Go in peace. The day is coming when Jesus will say those words to each and every one of us, "arise". And up out of our graves we will come and we shall see God in the face of Jesus. Remember God's timing is not our timing. So for that woman with the blood disorder, twelve years was far too long to wait to be healed. For Jairus, the death of his 12-year-old daughter had come too soon. Her life was far too short. But these two twelve's remind us that in the fullness of time, not in our time, God will save through Jesus. What Jesus said to Jairus, we must also keep in our ears: "Do not fear, only believe".
