Bible Verses: Compassion

Published on Feb 16, 2023

Compassion is to feel deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is hurting, in pain, or has misfortune and is accompanied by a strong desire to help the suffering.

Jesus demonstrated compassion by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and comforting the grieving. However, His greatest demonstration of compassion was when He died on the cross for our sins, to redeem us.

We, as His disciples are called to show compassion just as Jesus did. However, aren’t there times that we don’t really feel compassionate or we feel the person doesn’t ‘deserve’ it? Or times that feeling of resentment is more like it because we are just sheer exhausted? We cannot be like Jesus in our own strength. We need Him. As you meditate on these verses, would you ask God to give you a heart of compassion?
