November 9, 2025 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
The compassion of Jesus is unmatched. It is truly extraordinary the compassion that Jesus showed during His ministry on this Earth. You can see Jesus’ compassion throughout the Gospels, but let me draw our attention to three stories in particular.
The feeding of the 5,000 is found in all four Gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). It is the only miracle that is found in all four Gospels. Jesus had a large crowd following him and he was moved with compassion to feed them. His disciples said – why don’t you tell them to disperse and go into the towns around and find food, but Jesus, because of his compassion, decided that he wanted to feed them all. They gathered what they had (5 loaves of bread and 2 fish) and Jesus gave thanks for it and it multiplied to be enough to feed everyone their fill and have twelve baskets left over.
Many times, in the New Testament, Jesus had large crowds following him and he felt compassion for them and healed the ones that were sick or had diseases. In another instance in the Gospels, Jesus comforts a widow who has just lost her son. Out of compassion for the woman, He approaches her and brings her son back to life – they were marching him to his burial place at the time – a truly astonishing feast.
If you want to be a disciple of Jesus – you must want to be like Jesus – and if you want to be like Jesus – you must have compassion for those around you – especially those who are less fortunate than you. Disciples must be moved by compassion and then humble themselves to serve others in the name of God. Be compassionate disciples who want to be like Jesus in all you do.
