Sermon: Jesus and the widow of Nain

Introduction

1. Widows are a helpless group in any society regardless of their age, time and culture. They could easily become destitute in the society unable to earn a living.

2. They are vulnerable and that makes them an easy target for sexual predators, robbers and other unwelcomed people.

3. This was the situation of the widow from Nain. Her only son was her protector, supporter and hope.

4. Now that he is gone, her future was full of uncertainty – At least she thought so.

5. Then she meets our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

6. Let’s see how she was helped out of her situation by Jesus.
