THE WIDOW OF NAIM - HER MIRACLE IS ON THE WAY My YouTube channel
Text: Luke 7:11-17
11. A little while later, HE traveled to a city called Nain, and His disciples and a large crowd went with Him.
12. As he approached the gate of the city, behold, a dead man, the only son of his mother, who was a widow, was being brought out, and with her was a large crowd from the city.
13. As soon as the LORD saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, Weep not.
14. Then approaching, he touched the coffin, and when those who carried it stopped, he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.
15. The one who had been dead sat up and began to speak. Then JESUS gave him to his mother.
16. Fear seized them all, and they glorified GOD, saying: A Great Prophet has arisen among us, and GOD has visited His people.
17. And the news of this spread throughout Judea and throughout the surrounding region.
Here we can see an extraordinary miracle. The first of three resurrection miracles that JESUS performed. Only Lucas the doctor for researching in detail the ministry of JESUS, reports this miracle. JESUS raised the daughter of Jairus and also Lazarus. You probably know the saying that goes: Hope dies last. JESUS died and rose again, alleluia!
Something unexpected can happen to anyone, isn't it true to anyone? Nain, a very small town, an agricultural village, very small in the region of Galilee. Naim means charming or graceful, warmth, tranquility, calm. But that day there was turmoil, there was sadness. JESUS leaves Capernaum and goes to Nain. He walked for about ten hours to help a mother. By car today, in just ten minutes, the journey would have been completed. In that locality someone needed him. It doesn't matter where you are now, HE will go there to help you. We do not know the name of that woman, only the widow of Naim. This title already makes my heart tremble just thinking about the context of that time, a woman without her husband and now her only child. Every woman dreamed of getting married and having children. This woman has fulfilled her dream, but now once again the unexpected happens. What are you living, that you look at and say: My hope has died? Have you been seeking in prayer daily, fasting and nothing happens? That woman certainly in her deep sadness thought that it was all over for her. What am I going to do now? This can be yours question in front of the situation which he is living at this moment. My marriage is going from bad to worse; this illness in my body or that reached my loved one. I'm about to be evicted from the house I live in; this son or sons into drugs, into criminality; husband left home, my wife left me. Where is my hope now?
When the last hope dies, what to do?
I try to get up, but I can't. I live a life of suffering and bitterness. What I thought was my hope just died. I'm walking further and further towards rock bottom. Glory to God! Hitting rock bottom, you can only look up, hallelujah!
While you are thinking like this, HE is on his way. Behold, in front of you at this moment appears JESUS, the same one who raised the son of that widow. Believe! Sometimes it seems like it's taking too long. HE left Capernaum for Nain, actually at the entrance of that city at just the right time. HE never misses the moment or the time, believe me! Does JESUS not know of this need of yours? Don't think that HE has abandoned you, left you alone. Even if a mother forgets her child, HE will never forget you (Isaiah 49:15). JESUS had compassion on that woman and said to her: Don't cry. HE has hands outstretched to bless you right now, just believe!
With love in Christ,
