“Jarius came to Jesus for a fever cure, not for a resurrection. When you go to Jesus for help, you get from Him far more than you had in mind…Or take the sick woman. She came to Jesus for healing. But she wanted to just touch and run.” Both the healing of Jarius’ daughter and the sick woman is a foreshadowing of the cross. “Are you trying to hurry Jesus? Are you impatient with the waiting? Let Him take you by the hand, let Him do what He wants to do. He loves you completely. He knows what He’s doing” (Timothy Keller, King’s Cross, 65-69).
