Luka 7:11-19

Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a great number of people. When he was near the gate of the town it happened that a dead man was being carried out for burial, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.

Do you know what he did next? The unthinkable!! Yes yes we think it was pretty normal for Jesus to do this but remember, he was also a man of his times. He went and touched a dead body and brought it back to life. He gave the son back to the mother. There is no greater joy than to see the spark of life back in your loved one.

Do you know how to do that? Have you given the spark of life back into someone? As we journey through life sometimes we go through events that drain us. Things do not work out as we thought or we find our lives consumed by hunger, addiction, lack of zeal or illnesses. Jesus can give us life again. He can send us dancing again.

Today I want to ask you to do for another what Jesus did for this mother. Bring happiness back into someone’s life! What are the small and big gestures you can do to spark life?
