Tears of Joy

Hearing this story on the Daily Audio Bible this morning made me cry ...
out of sheer joy.
.
It shows God's loving heart so clearly.
.
That's why I wanted to share it with you.

It wasn’t long after this when Jesus entered a city called Nain. Again all of His disciples accompanied Him, along with a huge crowd.

He was coming near the gate of the city as a corpse was being carried out. This man was the only child and support of his widowed mother, and she was accompanied by a large funeral crowd.

As soon as the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her.

Jesus said to her, Don’t weep.

Then He came to the stretcher, and those carrying it stood still.

Young man, listen! Get up!

. 

The dead man immediately sat up and began talking.

Jesus presented him to his mother, and everyone was both shocked and jubilant. They praised God.

This is why I love Him so.
