Jairus fall at Jesus' feet, pleading with him for his dying daughter - Luke 8:41-42
Desparation has a way of making people forget about themselves and take unusual risks
Jarius knew the risks when he fell at Jesus' feet:
- Jewish countrymen won't take kindly of him approaching Jesus this way
- By falling to his knees, Jairus acknowledge that Jesus was everything he said he was
He needed more than faith to come to Jesus, he needed courage
Being a synagogue leader, he had access to the very best health care
Jairus had one final hope - Jesus, he knew Jesus could heal his daughter
The Savior who never turns down a humble man gave him exactly what he needed
Where do you turn when you're in desparate need?
Key Phrase: Desparation has a way of making people forget about themselves and take unusual risks
