Jesus played Name that Tune with His disciples, and with the crowd, at the bottom of the mountain. You and I don’t immediately pick up on it, because we’re not first century Jews. It’s in His comments, in verse forty-one. Jesus said, O faithless and perverse generation… It was more than just a reproof for their lack of faith. It was like saying, “Can you name that tune in five words?” It was a line from a song – a song every Jew learned as a child. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Our text says Jesus “touched the open coffin.” He undoubtedly touched the corpse, lying as it was on an open stretcher. When Jesus purposely touched the corpse of the widow’s son, it would have blown their minds. It was something that just wasn’t done by a law-abiding Jew. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

We can conclude at least two things from these observations: 1. Joseph and Mary were eager to perform everything required of them by the letter of the Jewish law. 2. Joseph and Mary were excited to promote the spirit of the Jewish law. In other words, these events were more than religious rituals in their family. They approached them in ways that spoke of their relationship to God. They didn’t just pay attention to the calendar; they saw these days as opportunities to celebrate. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Churches – all Churches – have customs and ceremonies. Even those who are trying to become more ‘contemporary’ do so by instituting new customs and ceremonies. We want people to go away fearing God, marveling and discussing the things that occurred with their families and friends. We can learn some things about the power or powerlessness of our customs as we search through these verses. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
