“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd” (Matthew 9:36).
If we’re going to see the world more clearly, we must follow Christ’s example and look at it with compassion. This means stretching beyond just looking. Today’s verses tell us Christ was “moved with compassion.” This wasn’t just a passing glance. Christ’s story of the Good Samaritan offers us a teaching example. Don’t just look and walk away. Compassion involves far more than a glance.
People everywhere need the Lord. There’s a world of souls out there for whom Christ died to save. We must see the need and be “moved with compassion.”
