When He and his +disciples arrive there, they meet a funeral procession coming out of the gate. +Luke tells us that the dead man is the only son of a widow. For a large portion +of history, orphans and widows were the most vulnerable people in society +because they did not have family to provide food and protection for them. There +weren't social services or charitable organizations like we have today because +most people were too concerned with their own survival and no more time or +energy to spare for others. + +When Jesus sees this woman, He has compassion on her and gets ready to do +something amazing. He stops the procession and tells the dead man to get up. +The young man gets up and starts talking, so the crowd of onlookers are amazed +and fearful. They recognize God's power is working through Jesus and they call +Him a great prophet. Jesus's fame continues to spread throughout Judea. + +* * * + +Help us to have compassion like Jesus did, to see people where they are and how +we can help them.
