Let the Dead Speak: What Does the Resuscitation Miracle Story Teach?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although 8 years have passed, the cruel memories of the Sewol ferry still remain. What will Jesus say about the tragedy of the Sewol ferry? This is what I thought while reading the story of raising the daughter of Jairus. Jesus often encountered the dead. There was the dead daughter of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue (Mark 5:21-23.35-43), the son of a widow who was taken out of the coffin (Luke 7:11-17), and Lazarus, who had been dead for four days, was in the tomb with a stench (John 11:1-46). Jesus saves them all. These stories are divided into a literary genre called ‘resuscitation miracle story’. Firstly, the resuscitation miracle story contained in the Gospels was used as a tool of the proclamation of gospel in first century Christianity. Secondly, we can trace back to Jesus at his time through the tradition criticism. Jesus may have heard voice from the Dead. And we need to hear it too, he says, “Do not miss a single word from those who have died in misery. Wash their sorrows carefully with all your heart. Bring them out of the darkness. Let the dead speak.” The resuscitation miracle stories are also well worth reading over and over again.
