Jesus' Resurrection Power

In Luke chapter 7 we witness Jesus’ power over death. This is the first miracle where Jesus raised someone who had died back to life. If this was the only miracle that Jesus ever performed, it would be sufficient to reveal just exactly who Jesus is. Why? Because raising the dead is the ability of GOD alone.

So, if you follow this miracle to its correct conclusion, you realize that Jesus is GOD in human flesh. This account is written that you & I might believe that Jesus is the Christ promised in the OT, that He is the very Son of GOD, & that through faith in Him we might receive eternal life.1 Corinthians 15 says that death is the last, the ultimate, the final enemy of mankind. What comfort we find in our text, for on this day, during the Lord’s 2nd year of ministry, death met its match & final enemy—Jesus Christ
