Having The Eyes Of Jesus!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Feb 11, 2020

IN THIS OUTLINE WE SEE THAT WHEN JESUS WOULD SEE THE NEED HE WOULD BE MOVED NOT WITH PITY BUT WITH COMPASSION. PITY IS NOT COMPASSION, PITY IS AN EMOTION BUT COMPASSION IS THAT PLUS COMPASSION DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITUATION

The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more
