Did you hear the news? Last year the Seahawks won the Superbowl! I love the informal rallying cry of the year of the quarterback Russell Wilson: “Why not us?”…. Today, we meet a man with the same message: “Why not me?” His name is Jairus ~ he goes to Jesus in boldness and expectation that Jesus can and will heal his only daughter. He “fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with [Jesus] to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.” Why not me? Why not my daughter?
I believe in miracles. I believe Jesus Christ has the power to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to arrange the details of our day so our needs our met, our problems overcome, our world changed. Jesus has unlimited power to bring his healing touch to all. “Why not me?” too many people feel as though they are not worthy of the touch of Jesus, they believe in miracles for other people, they don’t want to change. But the Lord has enough power, enough compassion for all…there is room at the foot of the cross for you.
