Jesus in today’s Gospel meets a funeral procession
coming out of the gates of the town of Nain. Unlike when he raised Jairus’
daughter (Mark 5) or Lazarus (John 11), no one requests his assistance. Moved
by compassion for the widow who had lost her only son, Jesus steps forward and,
laying his hand on the bier, commands him to arise. Like the physical healings that he
performed, Jesus’ raising people from the dead is a sign of the Messiah’s
arrival (Luke 7:22). But it is more than that; these healings are visible signs
of the awakening and liberating of men from the spiritual death caused by sin
(see Mark 2:1-12).
