Meet Jairus.
A father seeking help for his child.

Who was Jairus?
Jairus was a synagogue leader who asked Jesus to help his daughter. Mark describes him falling at Jesus' feet and pleading for her. His story includes fear, waiting and unexpected restoration.
The journey was interrupted while Jesus spoke with another person needing help. Jairus' account can help us discuss waiting during distress without promising the same outcome for every family.
