TOPIC: LET GOD BE GLORIFIED
LUKE 7:11-17 NIV
11:Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him.
12:As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13:When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14:Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15:The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16:They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”
17:This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.
LET GOD BE GLORIFIED
The widow did not even pray or ask the Lord Jesus to intervene. The Lord Jesus was simply passing by and her tears drew His compassion.
Even today, nothing is too much for the Lord Jesus to do to wipe away the tears of His beloved – even raising our beloved from the dead!
Often, He would do it simply because of His deep compassion, in accordance with His holy sovereign will and purpose and at the time we need Him most so that His name shall be glorified.
The joy of a believer always is for the Lord Jesus to be glorified.
QUESTION: Do you want God to be glorified in your life?
PRAYER: Almighty God, reach out to me and my family In Your loving kindness and mercy and do something supernatural so as to be mightily glorified in our lives, in Jesus name. Amen.
