Compassion in Luke

(8:40-56)

• Jairus - will we override our culture for Jesus?
• Suffering woman - there were any "around" Jesus, but she "touched" Him. Do we just spend time around Him or do we reach out to Him? DO we "know" the gospel, or do we "live" it?
• Jairus' daughter - how the family would have been overawed and overjoyed at Jesus' compassion - are we moved by that? What would it take to move us? The world laughs and mocks genuine faith, faith in the impossible, hope in the hopeless. Will we laugh with them, or "only believe"?
