The kind walk to heavens

Many accounts regarding Jesus' ministry can be found in the Bible. He performed miracles and healed the sick. However, we frequently overlook the lessons he is attempting to teach us through his actions.

Let us not forget that Jesus is a teacher, one of the best in the world. He taught us about the kingdom of God through parables and stories. His most effective way, though, is teaching by example.

Many Christian principles, like love and compassion, were taught to us through his actions. He accepted disciples from all walks of life and raised children from the dead out of pity for their parents. Most importantly, Christ offered his life so that we could all be saved.

Showing Compassion to the Sick

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.

Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” – Luke 8:40-48

• Jesus may have rebuked the woman for touching in this story. He, on the other hand, did not. He might have "put her in her place" because women didn't have many rights back then. He, on the other hand, elected not to. Instead, he referred to her as her daughter, which is a term of endearment. He was aware of her hardships and desperation, which drove her to act in the way she did. What do you believe the woman was thinking at the time? She was visibly terrified, as seen by her trembling. It's probable that her sickness caused her to be mistreated by those around her. But can you imagine her relief when, instead of reproach, Jesus showed her warmth and compassion? What impact do you believe this single act of compassion had on that woman's life?

Kind acts have the power to make the world a better place. An act of kindness can help people feel more confident, in control, happy, and optimistic. They may also inspire others to do the excellent things they've done, resulting in a more positive community.
