It may be that in this miracle recorded for us today we see the heart of Jesus more profoundly than in any other great sign recorded in the gospels. It is one of Jesus’ lesser-known miracles; meaning it is a brief event in his ministry, recorded only by Luke and not often discussed today. In fact, it is likely that if you were to ask a well read Christian to name the accounts of Jesus raising the dead, this is the account that would be passed over. It just does not get the fanfare that his other miracles tend to get. Nevertheless, it opens a window to us into the heart of Jesus, and pulls back the curtain a bit further, revealing yet another reason why God became Man.
