The Compassion of Jesus

Jesus compassion is seen as He brings the kingdom of God to rescue men from death & sin. Jesus' compassion is rooted in His inter-trinitarian relationship with the Father & His incarnational idnetification with us. A survey of the occasions when Jesus feels compassion shows this emotion in response to human misery both physical & spiritual. He demonstrates His compassion in various ways: tears & sighs, weeping, calling sinners to repentance, & especially on the cross. We are encouraged to learn that Jesus today, as the resurrected & exalted Lord of glory, still has compassion for us. who would not want to be minstered to by this compassionate Savior?
