THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!


Today=we see a story
That DEMONSTRATES Jesus' COMPASSION=
Anyone who has ever LOST
A loved one=would be
DRAWN in too


At the ENTRANCE of
The city Nain=
Jesus encounters a weeping woman=
A woman=who has LOST
Her only son


“A man=who has died
Was being carried out


The ONLY SON
Of his mother
And she was a WIDOW” Luke 7:12


We can only IMAGINE Jesus=
An only son


Seeing the PARALLELS between
His own family=this woman
And his VERY OWN MOTHER


FILLED WITH COMPASSION!


I too can IDENTIFY=when I was 22
And being told=
I was NOT going to live


All I could do
Was imagine the PAIN
Of my mom=and my FAMILY
If I was no longer here


JESUS was FILLED WITH COMPASSION!
For the widow Nain


“As a father
Has COMPASSION
On his children


So the Lord
Has COMPASSION
On those who fear him” Psalm 103:13


“For a brief moment
I abandoned you


But with DEEP COMPASSION
I will bring you back” Isaiah 54:7


“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


Jesus knows something
Of the TENDER relationship
Between a MOTHER
And the LOSS of her child


He KNOWS that the LOSS
Of her child=is
Her GREATEST FEAR


I know it too=because I
Could feel MY MOTHER'S PAIN
If I were lost to her=
And this world


COMPASSION MOVES JESUS!


“But while
He was still a
Long way off


His father saw him
And was FILLED
WITH COMPASSION for him


He ran to his son
Threw his arms
Around him=and kissed him” Luke 15:20


Jesus is MOVED with compassion
He restores LIFE
To the widow Nain's SON


And sees an EMBRACE
Between her and her
Almost gone FOREVER SON


THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!=
How does compassion for
The PAIN in someone else
Move you to ACT TODAY?


FILL YOURSELF with
THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER COMFORTING FATHER!
