“But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.”
Luke 8:50 KJV
The woman with the issue of blood had just been healed when someone came to tell the ruler of the synagogue that his daughter had died. Luke records that when Jesus heard this, He told the ruler, “You have no need to be disturbed by the news! Remain in this place of belief and she will be completely restored.” Jairus, the ruler, had just heard the testimony of the healing of the woman with the issue of blood and that she had been instantly healed from a condition that she suffered from for 12 years - as long as his daughter’s age! This so impacted his faith that he remained in that place of “believe only”. It is vitally important “how” we hear. Academic hearing doesn’t do it, neither does debating and arguing. Let’s not allow bad news to interrupt our hearing. Let’s keep our faith simple and childlike at the ‘believe only” level. Amen!
