Mark 5:21–24 (NKJV)

21Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

22And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

23and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”

24So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.

God fits our souls here to possess a glorious body after;
and he will fit the body for a glorious soul.

Bless God that there is in us resurrection life,
and that there awaits us a resurrection.

We are more sure to arise out of our graves than
out of our beds.
