"We, the crowd in Nain, have seen an amazing miracle today... It was a very sad day for us to begin with.... For one of us, a widow, had lost her son, her only son.... He had died.... So we had gone with her to bury him.... But we then met this Man Jesus just outside the town gate.... He stopped the funeral procession... We did not know what He wanted to do.... So we waited.... We then saw Him go up to the coffin.... He told the bearers to put the coffin down.... They obeyed Him not knowing what to expect next.... No doubt, to their surprise as well as ours, Jesus began to speak to the dead body of the widow's son... He told him to get up!!... And the widow's son did sit up..... And Jesus helped him to get out of the coffin..... We have seen a miracle today... God has come to help us.... Praise God!!.... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the people of the town realised that Jesus is a great Prophet....

The people in Nain will have been so amazed at the miracle that has happened among them as you can read in Luke 7:16-17

They were all filled with awe and praised God, "A great Prophet has appeared among us," they said, "God has come to help His people." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

This miracle helps the people to begin to have a greater understanding who Jesus is for they are beginning to recognise that He is more than just a Man. According to them He must at least be a Prophet because of what He has done in their midst.
