Compassion For The Sick (2 of 4)
Series: Compassion - Make a Difference
Frank Damazio

Introduction: In this message, we focus on Jesus the compassionate savior who ministered to our great needs through His great compassion. He is the God who is full of mercy, never running out of love or kindness. He brings hope to people. We get tired. We have a compassion limit that may turn into compassion blindness, a lack of feeling toward people in need.
