Treading Faith discusses the miracle Jesus performed when he brought Jairus' daughter back to life (Mark 5:21-24; 5:35-43).

When Jesus proclaims that Jairus' daughter was only sleeping and asks her father to have faith, he revealed (1) that death is only temporary, (2) that he has power over death and (3) that faith is essential to activating miracles. In this convergence of two miracles, one where faith on its own activated healing (the woman with the issue of blood) and the other where faith was requested (Jairus' daughter), Jesus teaches us that faith is essential to our walk with God. It is needed in all aspects of our life and the ultimate healing we seek, freedom from death, comes with the price tag of faith. Activate faith in your walk with God and your path to freedom will be clear. "In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6.
