Luke 8: gospel and restoration

Death, demon possession, sickness and nature against mankind are  consequences of sin. Jesus is the Messiah that brought restoration. In Luke 8, he resurrected the daughter of Jairus, he exorcised many demons from a man, he cured a sick woman for many years with bleeding and he stills the sea. All these events points to a world where the Lord reigns, where his will is done.


We read:

49 While he was still talking, someone from the leader’s house came up and told him, “Your daughter died. No need now to bother the Teacher.”
50-51 Jesus overheard and said, “Don’t be upset. Just trust me and everything will be all right.” Going into the house, he wouldn’t let anyone enter with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s parents.

Imagine to listen someone saying that your only daughter has died. I would loose ground. Jairus was with Jesus when he heard it. He was betting on Jesus but, even though, it didn't seem enough to prevent his daughter's death. Despite her death, Jesus asked Jairus to trust on him.
The gospel is all about the Messiah that came to restore our lives, our world. As we come closer to him, the more we trust on him and the more we feel he is taking care of us - as saying "everything will be all right".
