What Does It Mean to Have Compassion for Jesus? | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

In this Good News Friday episode, I share a few updates from the week and talk about the difference between the compassion of Jesus and having compassion for Jesus. It is a quick episode that will help you think more deeply about your relationship with the Lord.

Questions this episode answers

What is the compassion of Jesus?

The Gospels show Jesus moved with compassion for the crowds, the sick, and the hurting. His compassion led Him to heal, teach, feed, and finally give His life for us.

Can we have compassion for Jesus?

Having compassion for Jesus means caring about what He cares about and being moved by what He went through for us. It turns our faith into a real relationship, not just a set of beliefs.

How can I grow closer to Jesus?

Spend time reading the Gospels and notice how Jesus loves people. Talk to Him in prayer and ask Him to share His heart with you.
