The Compassion of Jesus: Love, Power, & Real-Life Miracles

Jesus’ compassion is more than just a feeling—it’s a powerful love that should move us into action.

What does that kind of love look like? And how does His love challenge us to live differently? In this episode of I Love Jesus, Pastor Curt Taylor and I explore three powerful stories from the Gospels that reveal how Jesus meets us in our brokenness and restores what’s lost. From raising a widow’s son to weeping at Lazarus’s tomb, we uncover how Jesus meets us in our grief, challenges us to trust Him, and shows us what resurrection hope really means.
