The Raising of the Widow's Son

So very like Jesus' own death and resurrection is this event. The mother is a widow, even as Jesus' mother was when he died. The son is an only-begotten, as Jesus also is. The dead man was met outside the city, and Jesus was also crucified outside the city. The raising of the widow's son is an easy way for us to see and remember and rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord, as we do every Sunday. For there is another way these are similar. It was the woman's sorrow that evoked Jesus' pity and help. And so also, it was the sorrow and affliction of the human race that brought him in pity to become incarnate, and to suffer, and to be himself raised from the dead. All that he might wipe every tear from our eyes. Sermon for Trinity XVI. The video is here.
