I have been taken this morning with the compassion of God. Jesus, the express image of God, showed great compassion during His earthly ministry. What is good to know is He still is compassionate. His ministry is a never changing ministry. Here's a few scriptures I've been meditating on.
He is a Shepherd
Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. NLT
Many are lost sheep today with no shepherd. Introduce them to the Great Shepherd.
He heals.
Matthew 14:14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. NLT
Do you need healing in your body? He hasn't changed.
Now you go heal the sick.
Feeding 4,000
Matthew 15:32 Now Jesus summoned His disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they've already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry; otherwise they might collapse on the way." HCSB
He feeds the hungry.
Are you hungry for Him? He will satisfy.
Do have any need for substance? He will supply.
Healing 2 blind men.
Matthew 20:34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed Him. HCSB
Do you need to see? Jesus gives sight. He will open your eyes.
Now you go. Give sight to the blind.
Luke 7:12 [Just] as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was accompanying her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep. AMP
And He raised the dead.
We can too. He said to go and do His works.
Is there anything dead in your life? A dream? A marriage?
He raises the dead.
A father has compassion on a son who left home wasting all his inheritance.
Luke 15:20 “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. NLT
Have you sinned? Have you wandered?
He is merciful.
Hebrews 4:15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. NLT
He is able to help you.
Remember, others have weaknesses too. Be understanding and show mercy.
