BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, “weep not”.
There lived a certain widow in the city Nain [a place of beauty and pleasantness] yet she had lost her husband and now her only son, while sorrow and sadness soaked her atmosphere. It was the burial day, and many mourned for the loss of her son, as they carried out his dead body reaching the city gates. There they were graced to encounter the resurrection and life himself near the gates. And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion, knowing that she had lost so much. He spoke to the woman words of life and healing, he said; “Weep not” as the scripture says in Psalm 107:20 “…he sent forth his words to heal and deliver them from their destructions”.
The next step he took was to stop the carriage, heading to the grave. Then Jesus said, “Young man I say unto thee, Arise!” and he that was dead sat up and began to speak. When the compassionate love of God come upon you, beauty and pleasantness will be restored back into your life. Jesus called back the spirit of the young man, which means his life was cut short for the amusement of the devil. But the compassionate love of Christ shown to her brought back restoration and blessings. As children of God we are well favored to have the LORD as our Father. Let us also be examples of God’s love and kindness towards one another.
Prayer – Heavenly Father, please shower your compassionate love on me and my family in Jesus name.
Insight – His compassion (loving kindness) faileth not.
