5. Jesus, Our Compassionate Provider

Will He take care of me? Jesus raises the only son of a poor widow from the dead. Did you know during Jesus' day virtually no special provisions were made for widows because the oldest son had the duty of providing for her? The widow in this story would have been destitute if Jesus hadn't responded to her need.

Luke 7:11-17

Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.” Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!” And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother. A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!” And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

Na jaren van tegenslag en teleurstelling leken de meesten het verleerd nog te hopen. Maar Jezus bood hoop waar Hij ook ging. Wie? Wie is dat? Een jonge man. Hij was het enigst kind van een weduwe. Jongeman, sta op! Een groot profeet is onder ons opgestaan! God is gekomen om zijn mensen te redden!
