ABOUT COMPASSION FOR OTHERS (2)
1. Compassion
a) Compassion is one of the characteristics that stands out when we read the four gospels about the life of Jesus while on this earth. We struggle to understand how Jesus could be both 100% God and 100% man (hypostatic union) but we can identify with His humanity.
b) We read about times when Jesus was obviously very tired and wore down from traveling around from place to place with His disciples and often having large crowds follow Him. And yet, He unwavering shows an amazing compassion for the lost, for the sick, and for the entire world.
