KINGDOM COMPASSION

COMPASSION IN THE TASK

Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Jesus was about the Task of the Father's will to take the gospel of the kingdom to the world

36 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.

Jesus didn’t just see people’s problems; He felt them. And that compassion moved Him to act, to serve, and to sacrifice.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

Many Christians are about the task without compassion

There are not few laborers in task mode, but few laborers in compassion mode

Pray for laborers with compassion to send to the harvest

Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

Jesus answers him with the parable of the Samaritan.

He revealed three approaches of religious people then and now.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:

1. Jesus was doing the task, and then He saw and was moved with compassion. How did this understanding impact you?

2. How does compassion begin in your life?

3. Which of the three religious people did you relate to and why?

4. What was your greatest "aha" moment in the message?

Looking forward to our discussion
