Compassion for the Lost
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
Scripture reading: Isaiah 6
Is it possible, after we have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, to be satisfied with what we see? Jesus weeped over Jerusalem because He had a compassionate heart.
We need to cry to God until He brings us up to the “measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13).
Jesus told in Luke 10:30 of a man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into theives.
Who among those who passed by and saw his predicament was his neighbor? The one who had mercy on him and helped him (vv. 36–37). Are you awake to the great fact that God has given you eternal life? With the power God has put at your disposal, how can you rest as you look out upon your neighbors? How we have sinned against God! How we lack this spirit of compassion! Do we weep as we look out upon the unsaved? If not, we are not Pentecost-full. Jesus was moved with compassion. Are you? Amen
Blessings Shalom
