...and he took the girl's father and mother and his three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.
Holding her hand, he said to her, 
"Talitha koum,"
which means 
"Little girl, get up!"
And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! They were overwhelmed and totally amazed. 
Mark 5:40-42 NLT
This resurrection is a taster of the resurrection  to come. 
Why of all the people who had died in the region where Jesus could've walked to that day, he went to this girl's house and returned her from death?
In this chapter Mark has documented Jesus authority over the spirit that had taken control of one person, healed the chronic physical ailment of another, and here, held this girl's hand and brought her back into life. 
Jesus wanted his team, especially those 3, Peter, James & John, to learn more about who Jesus is.
Jesus was a Rabbi, and more.
Jesus was a teacher, and more.
Jesus was human just like them, and more.
The Jesus we put our faith in will one day pull us back from the enemy he defeated on the Cross: death.
And he will pull us into Life.
In that small room 2,000yrs ago, that little group of people got a taste, a glimpse of what is to come.
Life Restored.
Jesus continues to bring Life and speak Life, may we see those glimpses in our day today.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
