Key Thought

Jesus speaks to the dead young man and makes him alive. Then Luke says it so beautifully, "And Jesus gave him back to his mother." Despite death, Jesus brings reunion! Despite the sorrow, Jesus brings back the joy. This one event is a preview of our future in Christ. One day, all those who are dead in Christ will hear his voice and rise from the dead with immortal bodies and join Jesus. Those believers who are still alive when Christ comes will also be changed and go to be with the Lord forever (1 Cor. 15:51-53. This event will be a day of great rejoicing as all Christians will be reunited with each other and united with their Lord.
