Luke 8:54

‘But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, “Maiden, arise.” '

But Jesus took her hand and called to her, saying “Maiden, arise.” The taking of the hand was in order to enable her to sit up. She was given life by the command. By the graciousness of God this young child on the verge of womanhood was restored to life. As Ezekiel 16, mentioned above, demonstrates, she was a picture of God's people being given another opportunity of receiving life.
