Points to Ponder

In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus encounters a grieving widow in the town of Nain whose only son has died. Moved with compassion, He touches the funeral bier and commands the young man to rise – and he does. This miracle reveals Jesus’ power over death and His deep empathy for human suffering  The widow, already vulnerable in a society where men provided economic stability, faced a bleak future. Jesus’ intervention was not just a display of divine authority but also an act of tender mercy, restoring both life and hope. His words, ’Do not weep’ (v. 13), acknowledge her pain while offering a solution beyond human capability. This passage challenges us to trust in Christ’s power in our own moments of despair. Just as He saw the widow’s sorrow, He sees our struggles and responds with compassion. The miracle also foreshadows Jesus’ ultimate victory over death through His resurrection, assuring believers of eternal hope. Furthermore, the crowd’s reaction – ‘A great prophet has arisen among us!’ (v. 16) – highlights Jesus’ divine identity, yet His mission extends beyond admiration. He calls us to recognise Him as Lord and to share His compassion with others. In our lives, we may not witness physical resurrections, but Christ still brings life to dead situations – broken relationships, lost purpose, or spiritual dryness. Like the widow, we must approach Him in faith, trusting that He can restore what seems lost. Let this miracle remind us of Jesus’ power, His compassion, and His desire to bring new life where there is despair.
