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!
