"The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived" (1 Kings 17:22).
The
raising of the widow's son confirmed Elijah's authority as God's
prophet. Here, we look beyond God's prophet, Elijah, to God's Son,
Jesus. We look beyond the raising of the widow's son to the resurrection
of Jesus, God's Son. In the resurrection of Jesus, God is confirming
the authority of Jesus as His Son - "Jesus Christ our Lord, ... declared to be the
Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead" (Romans 1:3-4).
