Compassion
Compassion means caring about how others feel and wanting to help them when they're hurting. Jesus showed compassion to everyone He met, and He wants us to do the same!
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
— Ephesians 4:32
Bible Story: Jesus Heals the Sick
Matthew 14:14
Everywhere Jesus went, He saw people who were sick, sad, or hurting. The Bible says, 'When Jesus saw the crowds, He had compassion on them.' Jesus didn't just feel sorry for people—He helped them! He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the sad. Jesus showed us what true compassion looks like.

- Comfort a friend who is crying or upset
