« “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the LORD. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment »
11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
- Jesus being The Way also implies that He is The Way out of problems.
There are problems in this world that you cannot solve no matter how intelligent you are,
but there is no problem that Jesus cannot solve.
Jesus Christ is the way out of sorrow.
In our Bible text for today, we read of a widow whose only son died.
Nobody needs to tell us that she was in sorrow.
She had known days of joy.
The day she gave birth to this boy, she must have had joy, but then the devil came in and steadily began to change her joy to sorrow, first by killing her husband and then coming for her only son.
I can assure you that as they were going towards the burial ground, she was getting deeper and deeper into sorrow because she knew that there were people amongst those following her,
pretending to be weeping with her and saying in their hearts,
“Why is your case so bad? Are you the only one in town? There must be something you have done wrong that God is punishing you for”,
but then she met Jesus Christ and the tide turned.
- For the mere fact that you are reading this today, sorrow is banished from your life forever, in Jesus’ name.
I was invited to preach at a private event in lkoyi some years ago. I was going to preach on the topic, ‘You need a miracle’, but as I waited in the hostess’ living room before the event started and observed the splendour of the house, I thought to change my topic to ‘O That Man Should Praise The Lord’. I felt the hostess and her guests appeared to have everything they needed already, but the Almighty God said I should talk to them about ” You need a miracle”. I learnt later on that the woman had only one son who had gone so deeply into drugs that when his mother refused to give him extra money to buy them, he planted some in her bag when she was travelling to London so that she could be arrested at the airport. Everything seemed nice and beautiful on the outside, but deep inside, there was sorrow. That day as I preached, the young man gave his life to Jesus, and the mother from that day on knew joy.
If you too want to have joy for the rest of your life, the only way is through Jesus Christ. Let Him carry your burdens Matthew 11:28.
Application – Jesus gives rest to the burndened heart, but you would have to surrender to Him first.
