Sunday of The Resurrection At Nain
Lawrence TideĀ – Trinity XVI
15 September 2024
Jesus Calls forth Life from Death
A large funeral procession carrying the only son of a widow is confronted by another large procession, Jesus and His followers. Death and Life meet face to face at the gate of the city (Luke 7:11ā17). Filled with compassion, Jesus comes into direct contact with our mortality in order to overcome it. He touches the coffin and speaks His creative words of life, āYoung man, I say to you, arise.ā Jesus does what is neither expected nor requested. For through Christ, God the Father āis able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or thinkā (Eph. 3:14ā21). Jesus bore our death in His body that we may share in His resurrection. Even as Elijah stretched himself out three times over the Zarephath womanās son (2 Kings 17:17ā24), God stretched Himself out over us in the threefold application of His name in the baptismal water, breathing new and everlasting life into us. āTo Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.ā
