Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her." Jesus performed a lot of miracles for a lot of people. And there have been people I'm sure who would want to label Jesus as a show-off. Some people see the many miracles Jesus performed and they want to point the finger and say Jesus was just showing off for all the people, trying to make his following even bigger by doing a bunch of magic tricks. But here, in this story, we find evidence that that is just not the case. Jesus was filled with compassion for the people he met. This woman, who had already lost her husband, has just lost her son. Now she will have no one to turn to, no one to love, and no one to love her back. Jesus knows this and his heart breaks for the woman. So, Jesus reaches out in compassion for the woman. Jesus cares. I cannot put it any better than that. We follow a Lord who cares about us. And in his compassion for us Jesus reaches out to us and eases our pain and suffering. Praise God! God bless,
Pastor Josh
