In this episode, we learn of the first recorded resurrection in Scripture. In the midst of a drought, God sends Elijah to the pagan town of Zarephath, where a destitute Gentile widow feeds the visiting prophet a portion from her final meal. As promised by Elijah, God later miraculously multiplies her supplies so that she never runs out for the rest of the famine. When her young son suddenly dies, however, the grieving mother accuses Elijah of punishing her for her sins by taking her son’s life. Still, Elijah compassionately cries out to the Lord in prayer and the child is revived. This miracle authenticated Elijah as God’s true prophet and showed that life comes only through faith in the living God and His Word.
