Exodus 20:1-26; Psalms 60:1-61:8; Acts 11:1-18
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:36
Compassion was one of the hallmarks of the Lord Jesus as He fulfilled His earthly ministry. Compassion is showing mercy and sympathy in relation to the suffering of others. Oh how this defined our Lord’s life. He had compassion for the poor, the sick, and the lost. And to us His compassion is just as real. It never fails, and is new every morning, even today—whatever your circumstances may be. —Caleb Riordan
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter ev’ry trembling heart. —Charles Wesley
