WHAT JARIUS’ DAUGHTER SAW IN HER FATHER

MARK 5:21-24, 35-43:

How did Jairus respond as a father in this situation and more importantly what did his daughter see in her father? What we will learn here is what children need to desperately see in their own fathers today.

1. SHE SAW HE WAS NOT ASHAMED TO SEEK OUT JESUS:

Notice he sought out Jesus--he did not send his wife, or someone else.
Many fathers leave to the mothers, intercessors and others to seek the Lord for their kids. When you took on the role of a father, you also were to take on the responsibilities of the father, given to by the heavenly father:

Some Simple Guidelines:

1. Dedicate your children to God
2.Teach your children to fear the Lord, & to turn away from evil,
3. Protect them from ungodly influences.
4. Establish them in church.
5. Encourage them to remain separate from this world,
6. Instruct them in the importance in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost:
7. Teach them God has a purpose for their life-
8. Have family devotions

2. SHE SAW HE WAS NOT ASHAMED TO BRING CHRIST INTO HIS HOME:

We must not forget Jesus was to many in the religious crowd, a friend of sinners, a winebibber, that the work he did was doing was by the power of the devil
Don’t leave Jesus in the church when we go home. Jesus is to be LIVED!

3. SHE SAW HE WAS NOT ASHAMED TO EXPRESS HIS LOVE TOWARD HER:

What took him from his daughters side, to seek out a Jewish teacher, what compelled him to fall at Jesus feet & cry out “I beg you, please come”, what would cause a man to forget his place in society, and what others might think or say? LOVE!

Fathers--don’t be ashamed to let your children see you seek the lord
Have him in your home
Show your love
