Luke 7:11-17 is an interesting text because it’s yet another occasion of Jesus telling death, “You have no power!” So many places in the bible that Jesus resurrects someone dead (Jairus’ daughter in Mark 5 and now this widow’s son in Luke 7) by saying “Little Girl/Young Man - I say to you - Get Up!” Each of these instances are also profound b/c in both texts Jesus is also in the middle of doing something else. He stops to heal the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 and he has just sent the word for the Centurion’s daughter to get up in Luke 7. Jesus the Might Multi-Tasker is great, right!
Anyways, in this text in Luke 7 where it says that Jesus “touched” the dead mans coffin, the Greek word here translated “touch” as a very strong, powerful intervention. Man. Listen. The dead thing you’re dealing with is going to require a strong, powerful intervention from the Lord. The fact that Jesus performs these miracles in different ways (sometimes a touch, sometimes just a word, once with spit and dirt) is just a testimony to the many, unsearchable ways of the Lord.
However… the common thread that you see in all of the miracles of Jesus is that nothing is too hard for Him.
Hmmm… That just preached to me. AND I’ve always been taught that your emotions don’t move God only your faith… And I get the theology of that text… but Luke 7:13 suggests otherwise. He saw this woman grieving her son’s death and his heart went out to her. HALLELUJAH! I’m so glad to know that we serve a savior that cares about our brokenness. I would suggest, however, that you not just wallow in your brokenness. Take your brokenness to the father and ask Him to do something unique, miraculous, and unexpected with it. I’m confident that woman wasn’t expecting Jesus to be walking towards her that day on that road to bury her son. But when He showed up, her very true and authentic emotions moved Jesus and He did something great about her pain. He raised her dead son (issue) and gave him back to his mother.
Jesus. Lord. Yes. and Yes. and Yes.
