We are living in a world that needs more compassion; the kind of compassion that Jesus showed to those hurting and suffering all around him. Compassion literally means “to suffer together.” It’s the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Jesus demonstrated compassion repeatedly. Through God’s leading, we also can make a difference in the lives of people who are hurting physically, and ultimately for eternity.
