TALITHA CUMI

There lived a Jewish leader who had a beautiful home, suddenly this little girl fell sick and was in the deathbed.  All her relatives and friends crowded at her house and began to mourn thinking she was dead. The Jewish leader didn’t know what to do; he came running to the Lord Jesus.  And he knelt at his feet.  He told Jesus “My little daughter is very sick and is going to die”.  Please come and touch her so that she will get well.  Jesus was moved with compassion and started to her house along with his disciples.  On their way a messenger arrived and told the little girl’s father, “Your child is dead. Jesus doesn’t need to come now”.          

But Jesus told the father, “Have faith and she will be healed.  Jesus meant that he should trust that Jesus could do anything, even bring the little girl back to life.

            When they got to the house, Jesus went inside with the father, mother and three of His disciples, then he took the dead girl by the hand and said “Talitha, cumi” which means “get up little girl” and she jumped up and started walking.  

          So my dear friends, nothing is impossible with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ask whatever you need He shall grant it to you. (Mathew 7 : 7 ) because He loves you dearly.

Think it over again.
1.   Why did the Jewish leader want Jesus to come to his house?
2.  What did Jesus do when he got there?
