Luke 7:12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”
As we said yesterday, there are not a lot of statements in the Gospels which state: and Jesus saw. But here we have one which Luke records, and we notice that by now Luke is referring to Jesus as the Lord." What we also see is the pattern of Jesus as He conducted His ministry: He sees needs; He stops to personally involve Himself; He says something of significance; He does something to show the mercy and grace of God and to bring Him glory. The Lord is watching us; He is waiting for us to recognize Him; He has something to say to us; He has good in store for us.
