Think of a father whose daughter is deadly sick.
Jairus, a synagogue official, fell at the feet of a controversial healer Jesus on the brink of losing his daughter.
It would be unthinkable that the prominent religious leader knelt down before an itinerant teacher!
To save his beloved 12-year-old daughter, however, the merciful father goes beyond the religious barrier and prejudice.
I see it as the heavenly Father’s love that moves beyond our imagination through Jesus Christ, the embodiment of the divine love.
Jairus will try anything to save his dying daughter as the heavenly Father did everything to give us life.
We should be numbed because of the father’s sacrificial love that treasures you and me more than we deserve.
On this Sunday, it would be necessary to sing and praise God’s unconditional love through our protecting fathers and mothers on earth.
If you want to see another example of the sacrificial father’s love that we can only imagine, I really recommend you to see the Team Hoyt!
