God’s Acre On the Go: The Current of Compassion

In this episode, we reflect on Luke 8:40–48, where Jesus is surrounded by pressing needs — Jairus pleading for his daughter’s life, a woman reaching for healing after twelve years of suffering, and a crowd pulling at him from every side. In the midst of the chaos, Jesus notices the touch of faith, declaring, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

This story reminds us that compassion always costs something, but in the kingdom of God, love doesn’t run dry — it flows. Jesus lived from a rhythm of prayer, rest, worship, and community that kept him connected to the Source, so his love could keep pouring out.

We also explore a modern story of Monica and Kevin — a young couple learning that healing and renewal are sustained not by willpower, but by steady faith, supportive community, and God’s abiding grace. When compassion stretches us thin, we too are invited to return to the Source, trusting that the same God who renewed Jesus renews us.
