JESUS MASTER OF DEATH.

+2.

 

 

Here we have a very strange picture. It is a young
man rising from off his bier, on which he is being carried
to his burial; for he had sickened and died. Hisae is it
that he comes to life again? Jesus has spoken to him.
Not only do the sick and those possessed with devils
hear his voice, but even the dead hear and live.

This young man was the only son of his mother.
How she loved him, and was hoping that he would be
able to care for her when she became old and helpless.
What sorrow it was for her to know that her only boy
was dead, and she left alone.

The neighbors were carrying the body out to bury it,
when they met Jesus, who was passing that way. When
he saw the poor widow. weeping, his heart was moved
with pity, and he said unto her, “Weep not. Then he
came .and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.” —
Immediately the young man sat up and began to speak.
Then Jesus gave him to his happy mother, and great
fear came upon all the people, for they knew Jesus
must be the great and holy God, to work such a miracle.
