It was a great meeting, only 7 attended and one of them was dead! 

It was the one who was dead that Jesus spoke to and it was the one who was dead who heard the voice of Jesus and even more remarkably she responded.

The crises of death often hits us right at the moment when death is imminent. Jarius was tremendously blessed in Luke chapter 8 although he did not realise it at the time. The crises of the death of his daughter, brought him to a crises of faith and a reality check. Neither he nor his religion could deal with death and the hereafter. He did what his love for his child demanded, he came in humility and faith to the feet of Jesus. Who cares what people think when we are seeking and finally find the secret of eternal life!
