The Widow of Nain’s Son: Life From the Touch of Jesus

A devotional reflection on Jesus raising the widow’s son.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus brings life where hope has died. A grieving widow walked behind her only son’s coffin — until Jesus stopped the procession. With compassion, He touched the bier and spoke life into death. This miracle reveals Jesus’ authority over the grave and His tender heart toward the broken.

Weep not. (Luke 7:13)

Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. (Luke 7:14)

And he delivered him to his mother. (Luke 7:15)

Christian Application

This devotional encourages believers that Jesus meets them in their deepest grief. He brings hope where all seems lost. Bring your sorrow to Jesus today. Trust Him to speak life into what feels dead.

Sample Prayer

Lord, comfort my grieving heart. Speak life and hope into the places where I feel loss. Amen.

Hymns for Miracles of Restoration

This devotional pairs well with the hymns It Is Well with My Soul by Horatio Spafford, Abide with Me by Henry Lyte, and Jesus Lover of My Soul by Charles Wesley.
