Life is a procession to your eternal destiny.

2. Luke 7:11-12
Soon afterward he went to a town called
Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd
went with him. As he drew near to the
gate of the town, behold, a man who had
died was being carried out, the only son of
his mother, and she was a widow, and a
considerable crowd from the town was
with her.

3. Luke 7:13-15
And when the Lord saw her, he had
compassion on her and said to her, “Do not
weep.” Then he came up and touched the
bier, and the bearers stood still. And he
said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” And
the dead man sat up and began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to his mother.

Fear seized them all, and they glorified
