Jesus and His friends were on a road trip. ☀️ 

They were headed to a cute little town called Nain, which means "beauty" in their language! 

Sadly, a young man there had just passed away His mom, who had already lost her husband, was all alone now. It must have felt super scary and lonely for her!

When Jesus arrived at the town gate, he saw a crowd walking out. They were carrying the young man on a stretcher, because they were taking him to be buried.

But guess what? Jesus is kind and helpful just like a superhero! He saw this sad situation, and decided to do something amazing. ✨ 

Jesus felt very sad for the mom, so he went straight to her and told her not to weep. Then, something incredible happened! Jesus touched the stretcher and said, "Hey there young man, wake up!" with a powerful voice!

Just like that, the young man opened his eyes and came back to life! Everyone watching was speechless! They knew Jesus was super special because he could bring people back from the dead! 

The people began to rejoice and to say:

`A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, ``God has visited His people!"

The news of this miracle spread like wildfire! Everyone wanted to meet Jesus because he was so awesome!

Jesus Raised The Widow's Son From The Dead Scriptures

LUKE 7: 11 - 17

11 Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12 Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

13 When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, ``Do not weep."

14 And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, ``Young man, I say to you, arise!"

15 The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16 Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, ``A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, ``God has visited His people!"

17 This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.
