So he falls at the feet of Jesus.
Are we ever that desperate? Those of us who have grown up with Jesus as our best friend, do we have that kind of humility and do we recognize our need for Jesus to go with us. Because Jesus' response to desperation is walking with the person. He went with Jairus.
Jesus is someone who enters into the fray, dives into the mess and walks with people. We are called to do the same.
And it doesn't matter who the person is. We have a demon-possessed man doing it right before Jairus - a chazan. (Jairus functioned as the worship leader in one of the synagogues. He was probably an important person and well thought of in his community.)
At Jesus' feet is a great place to be. It hurts, but it is good.

I don't have a comment, but a question. What would you say to someone who teaches that we are to do this (throw ourselves at the feet of Jesus) metaphorically?
Okay, I know that we can't literally do that today because Jesus isn't here in flesh and blood. But what I mean is, there are those who teach that throwing our concerns and cares on him today regarding physical issues, is really just putting confidence in those in the medical field because we accredit God with giving them the ability to learn medical knowledge. What do you say to that?
I heard it said well recently. Go straight to the Source:-)
