True CompassionDemands Action

Mark Chapter 1 Verses 40 - 41

‘A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!”’

Matthew Chapter 14 Verse 14

‘Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.’

Matthew Chapter 20 Verse 34

‘Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.’

To Say You Care AndNot Act Is To Not Care

The more we obsess oversocial media, the more weobsess about ourselves.

The more we obsess aboutJesus, the more we obsessabout what he cares about.
