In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus encounters a widow's funeral procession for her only son outside Nain. Jesus demonstrates true compassion by seeing her grief, feeling her pain deeply, and taking action by raising her son from the dead. This miracle was unique because it came without any request or demonstration of faith—it flowed purely from Jesus' compassion. As followers of Christ, we're called to mirror this compassion by truly seeing hurting people, allowing ourselves to feel their pain, and taking concrete action to help, remembering that genuine compassion always combines emotion with action.
