A woman had already lost her husband, and then she lost her only son. Knowing these things, Jesus showed compassion to her,

Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother (Luke 7:11–15).

How did that woman, and everyone else in that funeral procession rejoice on that day! How would you have reacted? We know that if we are in Christ, a great day approaches rapidly in which we shall join our loved ones who have died in Christ, and who knows the rejoicing that shall happen then!
