Raised to Reverse Despair

In a powerful demonstration of divine compassion, Jesus encounters a widow at Nain's gate burying her only son. Without being asked, He approaches the funeral procession and commands the dead young man to rise. This extraordinary miracle reveals Jesus's unique authority over death itself and His deep compassion for human suffering. The event demonstrates how Jesus notices the overlooked, moves toward pain rather than away from it, and has the power to restore what seems irretrievably lost. This timeless story reminds us that no situation is too hopeless for divine intervention.
