  1. Jesus raises a widow’s son in Nain

  2. What kind of powers does Jesus have? • What miracles can Jesus do? Can you name any? • Today we will see how Jesus has power over sickness and even death.

  3. Centurion • Who is a Centurion? A roman leader of 100 • The Centurion had a servant who was sick. • He sent to Jesus asking him to heal his servant.

  4. Centurion • The Centurion said to Jesus: Just say a word and my servant would be healed. • The Centurion had great faith. • Jesus said: I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! (Luke 7:9)

  5. Jesus’ journey to Nain • After Jesus healed the Centurion’s servant he moved on to a town called Nain. • A huge crowd was surrounding and following Him. • Jesus saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the city.

  6. What’s happening? • Jesus noticed people crying, dressed in black, and carrying a coffin. • What’s going on? One of the disciples asked • It’s a funeral!

  7. Can Jesus help? • The disciples knew that Jesus could help! (Sure…He’s God!)  • They came to Him and asked Him to come near the procession. • He walked over to the crowd and told the men carrying the tomb to stop.

  8. Jesus talks to the widow… • The mother is crying and it turns out she is a widow… • What is a widow? • Her husband and kid are now both dead. She has no one to support her. • Jesus said: Do not weep. (Luke 7:13)

  9. Jesus then went up to the coffin and touched the young man. • Jesus said: Young man, I say to you, arise. (Luke 7:14).

  10. Imagine what the people in the crowd must be thinking! Who talks to a dead man? But the widow had faith, if she didn't’ have faith, her son would not be alive!

  11. Is the young man alive? • What do you think happened to the young man? • He started moving and getting up and taking off the funeral clothes that were on him. • How happy do you think the widow was? • Her son is ALIVE! The support of her life is back to her!

  12. All the people who witnessed this miracle were beyond amazed! They did not doubt Jesus’ ability to do what they think is the impossible. • How did the mother feel when her son came back to live? • What does this teach us?

  13. Conclusion • Jesus through His kindness and love visited the widow and changed her sadness to happiness. Similarly, as children of God, we should try to comfort the troubled and sad people. • God has power over everything. Don’t tell God how big your problem is; tell your problem, how big your God is! • Jesus comes in the suitable time to face our problems. We should be patient, and trust and have faith that God will do what is right for us. • It is never too late for God to interfere. Even after we think it is too late, God still has a lot of power and He can heal us. The man was dead and he was still raised by Jesus. We should never give up hope.

  14. Memory verse “Young man, I say to you, arise.” (Luke 7:14)
