Jesus, this is above your "Pay grade"

Luke 8:49b KJV
"...Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master."

I wouldn't blame them for this piece of advice to those who were troubling the Master. Afterall, it was obvious to all, the child was dead

1. They probably didn't really

""KNOW" Jesus.
2. They probably knew or heard He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, healed one or two crippled folks, and the best they probably heard of Jesus was that, when He showed up at Peter's workplace, He did what could be termed as an exceptional miracle. Well,
Elijah did similar stuffs anyways, they said.
3. The knew Jesus to be a gentle and easy going and probably did not show any sign of someone that could raise the dead, someone in the semblance of Elijah who called down fire or Elisha who was a bit temperamental and performed some
very powerful miracles.
4. Jesus? Oh pleaseeeeee. Raising a child is above His "pay grade" He doesn't have the pedigree or looks, they said.

Nkw, imagine Jesus coming in and making them look stupid by saying in V52

Luke 8:52 MSG
Everyone was crying and carrying on over her.
Jesus said, "Don't cry. She didn't die; she's sleeping."

Like seriously?
Jesus, You must really have some nerve coming in here and telling us we dint know the difference between a chil sleeping & a child that is stone cold dead.

Luke 8:53 MSG
They laughed at him. They knew she
was dead.

Ofcourse, they laughed. They scorned. They thought Jesus was nuts. (Would you blame them?)

Suddenly, the unthinkable happened

Luke 8:54 msg
Then Jesus, gripping her hand, called, "My dear child, get up."
Luke 8:55 MSG
She was up in an instant, up & breathing again!
He told them to give her something to eat.

"In an Instant"
No stories.
No long thing.

It's God we are talking about here nau.
When He shows up, the outcome is always mind-blowing.

God will show up for you.
In that situation that appear so overwhelming,
In that situation
