The Miracles of Jesus Part 25 of 35
“A Widow’s Son Is Raised”
From:
Luke 7:11-16
11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”
“God has come to help his people.” How true was that statement? The thing is, that it is just as true today as it was when written in the Bible and guess what He is still here helping those who believe and love Him. Tell me, do you believe? If your answer is yes, then I have another question for you. Do you believe? And if you answered yes to that question I have another question for you. Do you believe? If you answered yes to that question, well I could go on and on but if you believe and love Him then there is nothing here on earth that you can’t overcome. The powers of this nasty old world cannot hold us back from Him who saves and He that heals and Jesus who loves. When you are sick, “believe”, and when your finances are a mess, “believe”, and when a loved one is lost, “believe”, because as long as you keep believing you will not lose faith and this faith is what helps, and heals, and finds, and protects, and gives life, and gives Salvation.
