SEEING A NEED
SEEING A NEED
A lot of life
A lot of BEING
A Christian
Is seeing the NEEDS
In a person=and FILLING
It for them
It is GIVING of our time-
Our resources=and our PRAYERS
To help another person out
It is FILLING THEIR NEEDS
When we see them
“But a SAMARITAN traveler
Who came upon him
Was moved with COMPASSION
At the sight” Luke 10:33
And isn't that the
MAIN INGREDIENT=when
We see a need=
RESPONDING with compassion
Today we have the story
Of the GOOD SAMARITAN
Who helped someone out
By the side of the road
Others saw him-
But kept on going
On the other side
Of the road
But the SAMARITAN
Filled with compassion
CROSSES OVER
To the place
Of suffering
He bandaged the wounds
Of a stranger
And gave TIME AND RESOURCES
For healing
Seeing a need
FILLING IT=feeling for him
With COMPASSION
“As a FATHER
Has COMPASSION
On his children
So the Lord has COMPASSION
On those
Who fear him” Psalm 103:13
“But after I uproot them
I will again-
Have COMPASSION
And will bring
Each of them back
To their own inheritance
And their own country” Jeremiah 12:15
“Praise be to the God
And Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ
The FATHER OF COMPASSION
And the God
Of all comfort........” 2 Corinthians 1:3
So what is the MESSAGE
Here?=Jesus
Is telling us
That when we see
THOSE in need
We are to RESPOND
With grace and love and COMPASSION
To the unexpected
That love is CROSSING OVER
To HELP those in need
No matter how uncomfortable
It is for us
Seeing and HELPING
Those in need
“In Joppa-
There was a disciple
Named Tabitha
(in Greek her name is Dorcas)
She was always doing good
And HELPING the poor” Acts 9:36
That is-
What being a GOOD CHRISTIAN is=
Seeing the need=
Responding with COMPASSION
And filling the need
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our all LOVING=HELPING FATHER
