About this episode

The episode explores the impact of compassion through the story of a man treated at a hospital and connects it to Jesus' healing miracles.

A man with no home and no family once showed up at the hospital having a seizure. We look at how this man responded to being treated with compassion. We also look at the "sandwiched" stories of Jesus curing the daughter of a rich man and Jesus healing a poor woman. We look at a very special word in the inner story - kraspedou - and how the way it is typically translated tends to greatly minimize the true impact of this story. We consider how we use this to greatly ease the process of connecting with God in a truly deep and meaningful way.
