• She had learned two things by the resurrection of her son: First, that God had come to manifest Himself here below in a man—“Thou are a man of God.” And so Christ was “marked out”—much more than a man of God—“Son of God in power... by resurrection of the dead.” Previously God had revealed Himself to her as providing for her needs, now, as giving new life, resurrection life, there where death had entered in by the “iniquity” of man. The second thing is that through resurrection she gained the assurance that the word of the Lord in Elijah’s mouth was the truth. The truth of the word of grace is proven by resurrection. Christ has not only died for our offenses; He has been raised for our justification. (“Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath: 1 Kings 17:8-24” by H.L. Rossier)
