Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today.
HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
The
Hebrew and Greek words translated “compassion” in the Bible mean “to have
mercy, to feel sympathy and to have pity.” We know that, according to the
Bible, God is “a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in
love and faithfulness” (Psalm 86:15). Like all
of God’s attributes, His compassion is infinite and eternal. His compassions
never fail; they are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, exemplified all of the Father’s attributes,
including His compassion. When Jesus saw His friends weeping at the grave of
Lazarus, He felt compassion for them and wept alongside them (John 11:33-35). Moved with compassion for the
suffering of others, Jesus healed the large crowds who came to Him (Matthew 14:14), as well as individuals who
sought His healing (Mark 1:40-41). When He
saw the large crowds as sheep without a shepherd, His compassion led Him to
teach them the things the false shepherds of Israel had abandoned. The priests
and scribes were proud and corrupt; they despised the common people and
neglected them, but Jesus had compassion on them, and He taught and loved them.
When asked what was the greatest commandment, Jesus responded that it is to
love God with all our heart, mind and strength. But He added that the second
commandment “is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:34-40). The Pharisee had asked Him
which single command of God is the greatest, but Jesus provided two, stating
not only what we are to do, but also how to do it. To love our neighbor as
ourselves is the natural result of our loving devotion toward God.
First John 3:17 asks, “If anyone has material
possessions and sees his brother in need, but has no pity on him, how can the
love of God be in him?” Originally made in His image, man is to exemplify God’s
traits, including compassion. From this it follows that “If anyone says, ‘I
love God’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his
brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). The Bible is clear that
compassion is an attribute of God and of God’s people as well.
