The way the world views things, whatever has happened, has happened. Not much can be done about it. Here history appears final. But now and then things do happen that disturb this comfortable way of looking at the past. The Bible tells us of Jesus' resurrection, and of how he brought to life people who had died.
Some hold the view that those who were restored had been given a new life. Christ Jesus, however, said to the people who bewailed Jairus's daughter, "Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth "Luke 8:52; Then he wakened her, knowing the fact of her uninterrupted life in God.
No one, including Jesus, had or has power to alter reality. Reality is fixed in divine Principle, God, in eternal Truth. But Jesus' words indicate his refusal to ascribe the apparent mortal tragedy of past events to a loving Father, God. Here history did not reflect the facts, so he moved to revise this false history— bringing the human more in line with the divine.
