Who is Jesus? Chapter 12 Jesus was Moved with Compassion

Jesus was busy teaching in the synagogues, healing the sick and casting out impure spirits, and in order to rest, he often went either to the desert or up on a mountain to pray to His Father God.

Meeting in quiet times with his Father God, gave him strength, power, an anointing, and divine instruction with assurance that God's will be done.

There were times, Jesus and his friends were invited to a meal at someone's home. One day as he was very tired, he went into the house of Simon Peter, where Peter lived with his wife and mother-in-law. It is recorded in Mark 1:30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; And Jesus came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Notice, Jesus did not pray for her, but merely took her by the hand, and virtue from him was enough to rebuke the fever. You might ask, "How could this be?"

The reason was; Jesus had spent quality time in prayer with his Father God, soaking up the glory and presence of God and being filled daily with the Holy Spirit.

This is the reason that many ministers today are able to reach out expecting miracles to happen that seem strange to those who look on. The truth is that all believers in Jesus can experience a relationship with God as they spend time in their Bible, reading, studying and praying that God would become extremely real in their lives.

My suggestion is to begin with perhaps 15 minutes early every morning reading at least 2 chapters in the Bible, and then write your thoughts and prayers in a journal or note book.

Also recorded in Mark chapter one, was a leper coming to Jesus requesting healing.

Mark 1:40-42 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and said unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

Notice in this instance, Jesus was moved with 'compassion,' he 'touched' the man, and 'SPOKE;' "Be clean."

It is important for us to 'feel' compassion for those hurting. Often our 'words' are healing and comfort. It is good to watch our words, our expressions and our emotions.

You are important to God, and your hands can bless others with a touch, and your words can also do the same to encourage those in distress and pain.

(Be sure you have spent that early morning time with God first - then expect your day to be a day of opportunity.)
