Pleading!

Luke 8: 41

Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house….

 

When was the last time you pleaded with God for anything?

If you’re like most people, we hardly ever get humbled enough to plead our case or cases before God.

 

Do you know what the Hebrew translation to our English word, “ask”, is?

It’s translated….. “BEG”!

 

Jairus had good reason to fall at the feet of Jesus. He had very good reason to beg.

Actually, he had a very good reason to plead his case before the Christ of God.

Jairus’s daughter was dying.

 

It’s funny how many people plead before God, when their loved ones are dying.

I know people who especially plead to Jesus, to take away their cancer.

 

Did you know that we can plead to Jesus for anything we have need of?

Why does it take such tragic events, to fall on our face?

 

I think we’d see more people cured of incurable diseases, if we spent more time pleading/begging.

I think we’d see more spiritual power in our lives, if we did more pleading.

 

You might not have reason to plead before Jesus right now—but then the day isn’t over with yet—is it?
