Sermon Title: Radical Compassion

Point #1: Radical compassion takes the initiative. Verse 5:6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
Point #2: Radical compassion creates initiative. Verse 5:8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.” 5:9 At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a sabbath.
