In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus out of compassion simply raises a widows dead son. The widow didn't even ask him. Nor does it mentions that she has faith in Jesus.
I believe that Jesus still does and continue to do so because of his love for all of us. Whats your opinion?

Dear Jason Lee:
There aren't any non-believers. That's a myth. There are hurt and angry people, people lost in their human "intellect" and allowing it to lead them, and many in plain denial due to problems stemming from the real Separation which took place in Eternity.
Jesus, never looks upon the human mind and ITS thoughts. His focus is unswerving upon that which is REAL, inside the body, sharing the space behind the human intellect. His REAL brother, the holy child of God, His Father's Creation, our brother ; our soul - our spirit-mind.
It matters not to Him whether you believe or deny. Only the human mind makes these choices ; but it is not real - for the soul or spirit KNOWS Him. Due to our Free Will He normally will not enter until we extend an invitation through our human mind.
He may reward faith - only because it is a stance of the human mind that ALLOWS Him to work. It's the sign of "open-ness" which is what it takes for Him to enter. A professed Non-believer makes it very difficult for Him to work with . The stance of their human mind is too closed to Him.
Nevertheless, He learned His Father's attributes well, as He was suppose to. And, as we ALL shall , eventually - for He shall teach us. Therefore, His devotion is steadfast. Unshake-able. For me, that is really what a sacred heart is. Steadfast.
For the widow, he looked into her mind. The son was all she had left. Yet, she asked for nothing. There was quiet acceptance. And, He gave.
We must remember that UNTIL we have a relationship developed with Him, strong enough that we speak to Him and HEAR His answers in our mind, He has to work with those that are simply "open" to Him. They haven't made a definite stand one way or another. You may say, Paul was against Him. He went to Paul ! He found the soul partly open while the human intellect was closed. But in this case, He had great NEED of Paul and did what was necessary to align him, in his intellect , with Himself. Earlier, when Paul had already been doing numerous murderous acts, He did NOT go to him. Later, He saw that Paul was someone He needed. He, then, did what was necessary to open Paul's intellect to Himself.
It is not that the widow is an Unbeliever. He knew through the One-mind connection, soul, that she was open to Him and He found nothing truly closed in her intellect.
This is a truth that exists about us: Where there is NO openess, He cannot enter and work under normal methods: The intellect can block His access to the soul.

The woman in question had faith in Him after the fact, of that I am certain!!
Today, much of what Jesus did would fall under the category of 'relationship evangelism' or even proselytizing. He didn't get along much with the "church people" of His day, but since He came to 'heal the broken hearted' and 'set the captive free' He went where He was needed, which was to the masses.

God decreed taht the wage for sin was death..Jesus left the splendor of Heaven to come down here and pay that price for us once and for all...death isn't physical death on earth, the definititon of death inthe Bible is "Separation from God" and for all enternity...He suffered not just physical agony on the cross, but for a single moment in time he bore the full extent of God's wrath & fury against sin, he endured the abandonment of God during that time...that was more agonizing than the crucifiction itself..Jesus loves all of us past, present & future, so much that He paid the price we could never pay so that we may find forgiveness of our sins and not spend eternity separated from God... Yes Jesus will continue to love everyone until He returns to earth and God's wrath is turned on all those who have rejected His son...He wants none to perish...right up til the fianal minute -Jesus IS love.....

I think you will find that jesus his love he wishes all would come to know him that none should perish however. He also gave us freewill you accept jesus you go to heaven and you deny him you go to hell pretty simple to understand. To answer your questions the two greastet commandments in Matthew say love your neighbor as your self and if you love me keep my commandments! The word love is used in the bible over 200 times God is Love period. Jude 22 says and of some have compassion making a difference see when you live for god your in a new league un a different ball game and compassion is saying hi to a stranger and shaking a hand and being nice that what christains like myself forget alot of Times. We can go to church on sundays and wednesadys and dress up nice and sing and pay titings but we forget to be nice. See its like this people are going to remember for one of two reasons wheter you are nice to them or you are rude to them and usually they remeber you for being rude! The bible also says in 2nd Corinth 5:7 we walk by faith and not by sight! Bleesed is those who believe and not yet seen. The lord ssaves people daily and you may not see the benefits of a believer right away but it starts with the heart and works out word So I agree With the statement and further on in the book of Luke the women does acknowlege Christ as lord of lords and king of kings the lord and savior jesus christ! Amen Timothy

Jesus helped the unbelievers so that they too might find a reason to believe. There is no need to "preach to the choir" so to speak. You take the gospel to those who have it not. Yes I think he still tries to reach out to the lost sheep.

Of course he still helps the unbelievers. He loves us all equally and He doesn't have favorites.We are all his children. It's just the matter of the children that choose to believe in Him and His power.

Of course Jesus still does and contniue to do so. When He died on that cross in Calvary, He did it for EVERYONE, so taht all who call on His name will be saved.
Jesus loves each and everyone of us, believer or not. Because He created us!
He is always calling them to come back to be with Him and leave their sinful lifes to have eternal life in heaven with Him.

the love of Jesus for us is real.
salvation is His free gift. man has to receive it by faith.
Jesus is still in the business of loving people. but man has to recognize that he needs help. Jesus won't force anyone. man has to decide for himself.
