COMPASSION

I blogged a couple of days ago about compassion well I have done some studying and here is some stuff I came up with. Hope that it stretches you and makes you think of the compassion Jesus had on those around him and pray that we in the same way may have that compassion.

Compassion -(Grk) to have the bowels yearn, feel sympathy, to pity, have or to be moved with compassion

Compassion-(Heb)Have compassion(on,upon), love, (find, have, or obtain,shew) mercy, have pity

Jesus so many times had compassion on those around him. Here are some instances. They were just some good reminders for me.

Matt. 14:14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed the sick

Compassion is something we all need to have. It is time we start caring and quit turning our backs on those who are in need. I know I am just as guilt as anyone else.
I pray that you read these scriptures and study them and that you will look at compassion with a new prespective.

Here are some other prhases I found in other versions that was there for compassion

to have you heart broken
to be overcome with pity
to hurt for someone
to be touched
to be deeply moved
to have your heart go out to someone
to care down to the last detail
not to turn a cold shoulder

"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching, and preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harrassed and helpless, like a sheep without a shepherd.
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, Ask the Lord of the harvest, to send out the workers into his harvest field.
Matt 9:35-38
