[QUOTE="Articles, post: 31454456, member: 758"] The crowd laughed at [Jesus when he said the girl was just sleeping].

Holding her hand, he said to her, [I]"Talitha koum,"[/I] which means "Little girl, get up!" —[URL='http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/nlt/Mark5.40-41']Mark 5:40-41 NLT[/URL] [SIZE=3][B]Key Thought[/B][/SIZE] Yes, people laugh at the thought of anyone being raised from the dead. The thought is ridiculous. The possibility is beyond the realm of our experience. But in these verses, Jesus took those who had faith, and those whom he wanted to have faith, and involved them privately. This was not an attempt to show off or to prove himself to the masses. This was a real need and a real girl and a real time of sorrow. And Jesus changed it all by his word of command, [I]"Get up!"[/I] He will one day say the same to those of us who have died before his return, and we will rise from death as well.
