No dead but asleep

Mark 5:35-43
The child is not dead but asleep.
But they laughed at Jesus.
Jesus put them all out, who were crying and wailing loudly.
Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this.
The synagogue ruler believed Jesus can heal his daughter but did not know Jesus has the power over dead.
Why?
Jesus is working in peace and quiet condition.
Jesus don't want others know he did this miracle for it might disturb his work in preaching the good news.
Jesus has the power over dead and life. He is really Son of God. No one can let the dead man back to live.
People always use worldly perspective to see the work of God, they laugh at Christian's talk and what they are doing in faith.
To be a follower of Jesus have to endure the laugh and mock from the world.
How?
Christians have an eternal life but unbelievers don't, they don't know what they are doing, but we know. Love to others, pray for them, hope all hearts can turn to Jesus.
