Luke 7:11-17

 

Typically, biblical teaching on resurrection is usually reserved for Easter Sunday when we pause to focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ; and rightly so! Christs’ resurrection reveals His defeat of sin and death. But the Bible also teaches the resurrection of the saved unto eternal life, which provides a motivation for believers to live holy lives, and a warning to unbelievers to repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this passage we see in the raising of the widow’s only son three realities about Jesus Christ that should motivate Christians to live with a greater resurrection mindset.
