Luke 8:52-56
52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
The God who created us can give life to the dead. With a word the living word of God spoke all into being, and so also speaks life to us who are dead to Him in our separating estrangement of sin. But His love in mercy is infinitely greater, promising life through and past the grave. This is the sure hope that hears, "arise" and obeys by faith.
