The Divine Compassion of Jesus

In Mark 1:29–39, the divine compassion of Jesus is revealed through His tireless ministry to the suffering. He heals Peter’s mother-in-law, then spends the evening healing many others and casting out demons. Yet His compassion is not merely reactive—it is rooted in communion with the Father. Rising early to pray, Jesus resists the pull of popularity to stay focused on His greater mission: to preach the gospel throughout Galilee. This passage shows that Jesus' compassion is not sentimental—it is purposeful, sacrificial, and inseparable from His calling to bring the good news to the lost.
