Guys, I meant to be using the board last week and have some stuff written for more of a discussion but the stupid markers didn't work so I thought maybe we could do that here.
I'll post a few questions to get our minds going and lets just talk back and forth this week about some of what we are going through this week with all this compassion on our minds.
I'll post a few questions to get our minds going and lets just talk back and forth this week about some of what we are going through this week with all this compassion on our minds.
- How can we as Christians, see others around us the way God sees them? Or in other words, how can we encourage one another to see the people we interact with (friends, family, enemies, strangers) the way that Jesus saw people "with compassion"?
- To show compassion for another person we may need to do a few things in our hearts first. Two things I can think of are; FORGIVE one another in order to have compassion and or PRAY for one another. What are some good passages from scripture that could help and encourage us in doing this?
Verses we talked about this past Sunday were:
- Matthew 5:46-48 on loving our enemies
- Matthew 9:35-37 on Jesus having "compassion" on them. Like sheep without a Sheppard
- John 4:7-27 on Jesus having compassion for the Samaritan woman
- John 8:1-11 on Jesus having compassion for the woman caught in Adultery
- Luke 23:34 on Jesus having forgiveness for those who were killing him.
Lets get a good discussion going on this topic.
