Sunday 23rd November 2025 // Morning // Luke 7:11-17 // The Compassion of Christ

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Like 7:11-17 at morning worship on Sunday 23rd November in First Ards. Jesus walks into a tiny nowhere town and straight into a funeral, a widow burying her only son, her last bit of security and hope. He sees her, feels deep compassion, stops the whole procession with a touch and, with a word, brings her son back to life. Jesus isn’t just moved by our tears, He has authority even over death itself and the only sane response is not to admire Him from a distance, but to trust Him as the Lord of life who will one day speak our names too.
