  I'm Pete Smith, I want to read with you parts of Luke 8 verse
• 0:11
  5253 and 55. But Jesus said, do not weep, she
• 0:15
  is not dead, but sleeping. And they laughed him to scorn,
• 0:18
  knowing that she was dead. Then her spirit returned and she
• 0:21
  arose immediately. How wonderful that Jesus could
• 0:23
  raise the 12 year old daughter of Jairus back to life.
• 0:27
  There are only 7 recorded cases in Scripture of the dead dead
• 0:30
  being raised and three of them are children.
• 0:32
  It's interesting how Christ viewed death as only sleeping.
• 0:35
  It is the word used for the first recorded Christian death

• 0:41
  comfort to all bereaved of their beloved and faithful if the

• 0:51
  with him or apart from Him? Which once again soon at Compass
