Episode Synopsis

In this world, Jesus is famous for His love. But not everyone understands just how radical and polarizing His compassion was: Healing the humble gentile; and sending away the prideful religious. Compassion fueled the fire of Christ to proclaim, teach, heal and sacrifice.
But could many believers have lost sight of God's great compassion in how we are to treat others?
In this teaching:

Did Jesus call the Canaanite Woman a dog?
How Yeshua dealt with Israel’s enemies
How love is both more than about feelings, and more than about rebuke
Stories of God’s compassion
The historical context of the Canaanites, and how Jesus healed a demon oppressed boy.
The grace and compassion Christ calls you to.
Who exactly will inherit the Kingdom of God
