[B]Tom:[/B] Hello.
[B]Sam:[/B] Hi, Tom, I've got a problem. I was out in my south 40 and my tractor mired down. Could you come pull me out?
[B]Tom: [/B]I can give it a try. The diesel isn't working so well; but, hey, if I can't get you out, at least I can sit in the mud with you.
[B]Woodrow Kroll:[/B] Compassion isn't always solving people's problems. But it's being there for them when they need you.
Time and time again, the Scriptures say that Jesus had compassion. In Matthew 9:36, we're told, "But when He [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd." Jesus cared about those who were around Him.
And not only did He care about them, He cares about you today. That's why the Psalmist wrote, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me" [Psalm 23:4].
Discover the compassion that Jesus has for you. Read all about it in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Bible. Read it for answers; read it for life. |
