Compassion of the King

June 15, 2014

Summary

Jesus shows his great compassion for the long suffering, the grief stricken, and the blind. A ruler with authority over people was powerless to save his own daughter. He places his faith for her life in the heart and hands of Jesus. Traveling to the home, a women inflicted with a blood ailment believes reaching out to Jesus will end her dozen years of pain. Both have faith in the ability and willingness of Jesus to heal and save. Jesus miraculously cures the women and returns the ruler’s daughter to life. The news of great works of Jesus cannot be contained. As news spreads two blind men hear and believe if Jesus can raise a girl from the dead he is able to restore their sight.  Many are in need of Jesus’ healing, salvation and compassion. We can take great hope knowing Jesus healing one does not limit his ability to save others. Our faith should grow as our eyes are opened to the inexhaustible compassion of our king.
