“Let us see, furthermore, in this mighty miracle, a lively emblem of Christ’s power
to quicken the dead in sins. In Him is life.

He quickeneth whom He will. (**John 5:21**.) He can raise to a new life souls that
now seem dead in worldliness and sin.

He can say to hearts that now appear corrupt and lifeless, “Arise to repentance,
and live in the service of God.”

Let us never despair of any soul. Let us pray for our children, and faint not.

Our young men and our young women may long seem travelling on the way to ruin. But
let us pray on.

Who can tell but He that met the funeral at the gates of Nain may yet meet our unconverted
children, and say with almighty power, “Young man, arise.”

With Christ nothing is impossible.”
