—Luke 7:11-17

What a wonderful and amazing experience for this widow. Consider the culture in which she lived. When her husband died, the son was left to be responsible for taking care of his mother. Now the son was dead as well. What a loss! What emptiness! What grief! What uncertainty! Jesus understood and felt her pain. Her only comfort would be to have her son alive and Jesus provided that for her. Jesus “presented him to his mother” (v.15) alive and speaking, proving that Jesus is the “resurrection and the life”(John 11:25). The crowd glorified God and declared that “God has visited His people” (v.16). What evidence do you have that God is with you?
