II - Lk. 7: 11-17
HE WIPES AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM OUR EYES
Today’s Gospel passage is about Jesus, raising the dead son of the widow at Nain. He was the only son of the widow and the anguish of losing that only son moved Jesus to compassion and he voluntarily went to work a miracle for her. The empathy of Jesus enthused him to give the widow her son back alive.
Empathy moves to compassion and compassionate heart works wonders. The bible says, “He will wipe all tears from their eyes” (Rev. 21: 4). Our God wishes for happiness, peace and happiness to everyone even unasked. Let us trust and hope with faith and this will be done to us. Though delayed, it will for sure not denied. Take heart. Trust in the Lord.
