WHEN JESUS COMMANDS THE DEAD

LUKE 7:11-16                           

Pastor Rick Jackson

By way of introduction here are several surprising truths about the various times Jesus raised individuals from the dead:

-During his earthly ministry Jesus resuscitated individuals in their normal bodies- He did not give them a glorified body.

-Jesus never raised someone for themselves- it was always for someone else.

-It was not specifically requested per se.
