The Compassion of the Christ
Mark 5:21-43
In this sermon, Reverend Mark Steiger discusses how the life of Jesus was centered on compassion, how that compassion was contrary to the Jewish purity laws, and how the counter-cultural nature of Jesus’ compassion eventually led to his crucifixion. Reverend Steiger then discusses how twenty-first century Christians are called to lead lives based on this Christ-like compassion, seeking to fill the holes in the universe that can only be filled with the love of God.
