Jesus is passing through the throng to the house of Jairus to raise the ruler's dead daughter. But He is so overflowing with goodness that He works another miracle while on the road. If we have one purpose, it is good to go immediately and accomplish it. It would be unwise to expend our energies on the way. When hastening to rescue a drowning friend, we cannot afford to exhaust our strength upon a person in similar danger. It is enough for a man to fulfill his own peculiar calling. But our Master knows no limit of power or boundary of mission. His grace is so abundant that even His path radiates lovingkindness. He is a swift arrow of love which not only reaches its ordained target, but it perfumes the air through which it flies. Virtue constantly flows from Jesus as sweet odors waft from flowers. It will always emanate from Him as water bubbles from a sparkling fountain. What delightful encouragement this truth offers us! If our Lord is ready to heal the sick and bless the needy, then put yourself in His path. Do not neglect asking because He is so generous in giving. Give earnest heed to His Word at all times that Jesus may speak through it to your heart. Dwell with Him that you may obtain His blessing. When He is present to heal, He will surely heal you. He is present even now, for He always comes to hearts which need Him. Do you need Him? He knows how much! Lord, look upon the distress which is now before You and make Your servant whole.
