7:11 過了不多時(有古卷:次日),耶穌往一座城去,這城名叫拿因,他的門徒和極多的人與他同行。
7:12 將近城門,有一個死人被抬出來。這人是他母親獨生的兒子;他母親又是寡婦。有城裡的許多人同著寡婦送殯。
7:13 主看見那寡婦,就憐憫她,對她說:「不要哭!」
7:14 於是進前按著槓,抬的人就站住了。耶穌說:「少年人,我吩咐你,起來!」
7:15 那死人就坐起,並且說話。耶穌便把他交給他母親。
7:16 眾人都驚奇,歸榮耀與上帝,說:「有大先知在我們中間興起來了!」又說:「上帝眷顧了他的百姓!」
7:17 他這事的風聲就傳遍了猶太和周圍地方。
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.

有句話說:「寡婦死了兒子,沒指望!」
這樣的事發生在拿因城的寡婦之身上,他的獨生子竟然死了!然而在這樣的狀態下,竟然與主耶穌相遇。主看見那寡婦,就憐憫她,對她說:「不要哭!」
主耶穌不僅僅是憐憫那寡婦,祂更是說:「少年人,我吩咐你,起來!」那死人就坐起,並且說話。耶穌便把他交給他母親。
或許你會覺得奇妙,但是在上帝而言是沒有難成的事!但是你會問,我為甚麼沒有遇見這樣的事呢?其實我們與主耶穌相遇也是經歷這樣的奇妙的事情!
正如《約翰福音》3章16節說:「上帝愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不致滅亡,反得永生。」
是的,我們本該滅亡!可是,信靠主耶穌為救主時,就得永生了!
主耶穌也說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,那聽我話、又信差我來者的,就有永生;不至於定罪,是已經出死入生了。」(約翰福音5:24)
因此,我們信主的過程中,就是經歷復活的大能了!拿因寡婦的神蹟也發生在我們身上了!
