I Say to You Arise

Jesus meets a funeral procession coming out of the city of Nain and raises a widow's son to life. What are the 'chances' that this encounter happened randomly? Most of us would have to admit that there was nothing chance about any of the events in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, even though it seemed to be a 'chance meeting.'

Well, if we can see how this young man being raised from the dead by the Lord was part of God's plan, why does it seem so difficult for us to believe that our own life-giving encounter with Christ was according to His plan as well?
