In some of Jesus’ miracles, He does it to show His divinity and purpose of being the Messiah. In this account, Luke was intentional in highlighting that compassion to bring comfort was Jesus’ prime motivation for the miracle. Jesus expressed His compassion and desire to comfort the widow by raising the son from the dead. This miracle shows the extent that Jesus goes to show His compassion for us. He supernaturally restored the dead son back to his life. He restored the joy of the widow and the community. The community feared God and glorified God as a result of this miracle. God has visited His people in order to bring about the fulfillment of the promises He has made to them. In Jesus, the town of Nain, he has inaugurated the kingdom of God.

This miracle points to Jesus’ heart and compassion for those who are afflicted. More than the physical healing that Jesus provided for the leper, He touched him and responded to him with compassion. Many times in Scripture we see that God responding to physical healing leads to spiritual healing (Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17). In this case, Jesus even restored the leper, relationally. He restored the leper’s social status by healing him and commanding him to declare himself healed among the priests as a custom for healed lepers. We sense Jesus’ heart to heal and restore us holistically.

Jesus demonstrates His omniscience and lordship over the sea; defying the natural laws of the sea and instantaneously providing a large number of fish for their catch. This miracle did not only provide for the personal needs of the fishermen but also opened an opportunity to be Jesus' first disciples; to serve Him for the rest of their lives. We should believe in Jesus' ability to miraculously provide for us today. His provision comes with a greater purpose of drawing us closer to Him and enabling us together to serve Him fully; catch men and draw people closer to Him.

Jesus sets the beginning phase of His ministry by performing miracles to heal many. The healing of Peter's mother-in-law brought the community's attention to Jesus as the miracle worker; one who heals and delivers people from demonic oppression. The community's identification of Jesus as a miracle worker applies for us today. He is God and He is faithful to let us experience His supernatural power in our time of need. We can believe God for miracles for our personal situations and trust the Holy Spirit to do wonders as we minister to others. It is worthy to note that Luke was a doctor and as one that is empirically driven by data and facts, he penned supernatural events that took place concerning Jesus' miracles.
