THE TIGHT CORNER JESUS’ OPPORTUNITY
Luke 7:11-18
Things were at their worst here. A woman had lost her life-friend. Yet she had a son left; only one; more precious because just one. Then he slips from her clinging grasp! She is utterly alone. Her heart is bleeding itself out through her eyes. Things are desperate. But man’s tightest pinch gives Jesus’ love its best chance. And the worst is turned into the best. That’s Jesus’ way—then, and still.
