When death seems final, Jesus shows that it isn’t.
In this episode, Krisan Marotta walks us through the story of Jairus, a synagogue leader who risks everything to beg Jesus for help when his daughter is dying. But before they even reach the house, news arrives that it’s too late—she’s already gone. What follows is not only a demonstration of Jesus’ authority over death, but also a powerful portrait of his compassion for the grieving and his challenge to hopelessness. This passage calls us to believe, even when the situation looks beyond saving.
In this week’s episode, we explore:
After listening, you’ll see that Jesus not only has authority over sickness and storms, but over death itself. You’ll understand how this story reframes what it means to live by faith, and why death for the believer is not the end of the story—it’s only sleep before the resurrection. This kind of hope changes how we grieve, how we pray, and how we live.
