Jairus’ daughter remembers people asking her what it was like when she was dead. But she believes the better question is, “How am I alive?” She recounts how her father was willing to give up everything to believe in Jesus, trusting that He could heal her.

When their brother, Lazarus, was sick, Mary and Martha called for the one person they knew could heal him. But when Jesus didn’t arrive until after Lazarus died, they wavered in their belief.

The soldier who nailed Jesus to the cross recounts the experience. He was just doing his job. But, when Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they’re doing,” and looked at him, the soldier realized that he needed to be forgiven. He realized Jesus really was the Son of God.
