On any given day as we look around us we see a certain number of people who are hurting and who need our sympathy and compassion. We all as Christians have a ministry of reaching out in love to the needs of these people. It needs to be a vital part of our personal ministry within the Body of Christ. The people of God should always be able to share their needs and hurts with one another. In my opinion, small groups are so important. They provide the atmosphere of love and trust which encourages the participants to share personal needs and to bear one another's burdens,and so fulfill the Law of Christ(Gal.6:2) we are remined that within the Body of Christ, when one member suffers we all suffer(1Cor.12:26) and that we should rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep(Rom.12:15) That is the ministry of Sympathy and Compassion. The Spirit of Christ
