Context of Luke 8:40

38The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him, “Let me go with you.” But Jesus sent the man away and told him, 39“Go home to your family, and tell them how much God has done for you.” So the man left. He went through the whole city and told people how much Jesus had done for him. When Jesus came back, a crowd welcomed him. Everyone was expecting him. 41A man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, arrived and quickly bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. 42His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went, the people were crowding around him.

There is no relief for souls under a sense of guilt, and fear of wrath, but to go to Christ, and call him Master, and say, I am undone, if thou dost not help me. When our dangers are over, it becomes us to take to ourselves the shame of our own fears, and to give Christ the glory of our deliverance. We may learn much out of…Read the comment
