Why Jesus Was Moved Before He Healed
Before method or ministry technique, the Gospels repeatedly draw attention to the compassion of Jesus. That heart must shape how believers care for people today.
Compassion is not decoration around ministry—it is central to it.
Brian Fenimore explores compassion as a defining feature of the healing ministry of Jesus. The purpose is not merely to study miracles, but to understand the heart revealed through them.
When compassion leads, healing prayer becomes less about proving something and more about faithfully loving the person in front of us.
