When the child had been brought back to life, the mother was called in and told to take up her son. When Elijah raised the widow’s son from death, he delivered him unto his mother (1 Kings 17:23), and likewise Jesus, when He raised the son of the widow of Nain, gave him to his mother again (Luke 7:15). The heart of Jesus goes out to every mother who weeps over the loss of a child, and in the glad resurrection day, children who now are asleep in their graves will be brought back to life once more, to be carried by angels and placed in their mothers’ arms (GC 645).
