Jesus displayed His authority over death through His miracles, including raising individuals back to life, as seen in the account of Jairus' daughter.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates unparalleled authority over death. In Mark 5:41-42, we see Him raising Jairus' daughter with the command, 'Talitha, cumi,' revealing not only His compassion but His divine sovereignty. This miraculous act serves as a testament to Jesus' ability to conquer death, foreshadowing His own resurrection. In John 11, He raises Lazarus from the dead, further affirming the truth that He is 'the resurrection and the life' (John 11:25). These events provide clear evidence that, as the sovereign Lord, Jesus holds power over life and death, providing believers with hope regarding their own mortality.
