In Luke 7:11–17, we witness 4 components of a narrative that displays Jesus' compassion for people and power over death. I. The narrative has a setting: two large crowds converge at Nain's city gate. A. Crowd 1: Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd head toward the gate (v. 11). B. Crowd 2: A widow, her deceased only son, and a sizeable funeral crowd exit the gate (v. 12).
II. The narrative has a rise in tension. A. The compassionate and powerful Lord asks the humanly impossible (v. 13). B. The compassionate and powerful Lord does the humanly impossible (v. 14).
III. The narrative has a climax: the dead man sits up and speaks (v. 15). IV. The narrative has a resolution. A. Fear gripped everyone (v. 16a). B. Their report glorifying God spread throughout the land (v. 16): 1. "A great prophet has arisen among us!" (v. 16c) 2. "God has visited His people!" (v. 16d).
