The Compassion of Christ

By: Alistair Begg || Preached October 31, 1999 - (Luke 7:1) Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus was full of compassion for those who were suffering. In this message, Alistair Begg unpacks the stories of two encounters Jesus had with sorrowful households. In these meetings, Christ’s compassion reached beyond race and respectability to minister to those in pain, hopelessness, loneliness, and grief. Only Jesus can meet us in our dark situations and overcome them all-even the grave itself.

Lord Jesus, Let love rain, like sweet mercy from heaven. Let mercy flow like waves and waves flowing richly from the heart of God. May love arise ... may mercy come forth ... may love and mercy bring forth hearts of compassion. Compassion for the lost, compassion for the thirsty, compassion for the hungry, compassion for the poor, compassion for the homeless, compassion for others. Not in just words or deeds done, but from the depths of the heart seeking to give Glory to God through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we look with the heart of God. May we see with his eyes or mercy and compassion and may we do all things to His Glory. For the river of God is love, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is sweet mercy, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is compassion, may they see it in our eyes, hear it from our hearts and see it through open arms embracing the needs of others. ------ May we place others even before ourselves and love like Jesus.
