Luke 7:13 - When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
There is no trial, difficulty or challenge we face today that our Lord Jesus cannot identify with. The moment we experience a trial, right there and then, He feels it too, because He “in every respect has been tested as we are” (Heb 4:15), and He is able to sympathize with our weaknesses.
Jesus’ compassion for you is the same compassion He felt for the widow at Nain. (Luke 7:11–15). When Jesus saw her, He was moved with compassion and said to her, “Do not weep.”
Now, some people might also be moved to approach her, but only to say, “Look sister, something is terribly wrong. Why such things are happening? You must find out what is wrong. You better ask God what sin you have committed, and repent. Or perhaps there is a curse in your life that needs to be broken.”
Isn’t it beautiful that Jesus did not extend more confusion or condemnation towards her? He only extended His compassion to her, telling her, “Don’t weep.” This same Jesus will also come to us when we are distraught and say, “Don’t cry.” He is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb 13:8). His sympathy will move Him to give us the miracle we need in our life.
Thought for the day!
Jesus, who understands what you are going through, will also breathe life into your dead situation!
