The Power and Compassion of Jesus

One thing is clear from Jesus' ministry was that no matter how important it was for him to share His message, teach His disciples, or accomplish His Father's will, He didn't ignore the opportunity to touch people's lives who came to Him in faith.----------Such is the case in the narrative that Frank will be preaching on this Sunday--a story within a story, if you will. A father pleading for his daughter's life that Jesus might touch her and heal her; a woman, afflicted for years with a physical burden imagines through her faith that simply touching His garments might bring relief and healing to her. Two people who probably never met one another but who shared and clung to a shred of hope for healing through His healing power.----------Ironically, it is the same hope that inspires and assures us. We have all been in the same circumstance, afflicted with a hopeless situation, clinging to a faith and belief that redemption and healing comes through the Savior.
