Morning Glory ( Take Off Thursday)

July 23, 2015

Today on Morning Glory it was Take Off Thursday. Our message today was " What Happened To Compassion"? Our text today was Jude 1:22.

And some have compassion making the difference.

To understand the true meaning of compassion we have to look at the best example of this and that is Jesus Christ.
Throughout the three year ministry of Jesus you have read countless times of the compassion that was shown on those he would encounter. I believe the greatest act of compassion that was displayed by our Lord and Savior was the fact that he got up on that old rugged cross and died for you and I. Jesus Christ is our best example of compassion.

The meaning of compassion is to show a deep feeling of sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the sufferings. That sounds just like Jesus Christ, doesn't it? Jesus Christ throughout his ministry wanted to not only show his sympathy and sorrow for the misfortune of those he encountered but also to alleviate the misfortunes. All through the New Testament Gospels we can see these types if acts. On this Take of Thursday we ought to be glad about the compassion that Jesus has shown on us.

In our text today,  Jude let's us know that if you and I have compassion we make a difference. With all of the things going on in the world today there is a real lack of compassion collectively. We must go back to foundational principles.

As believers we should have the feeling of sympathy and sorrow for the one that has the misfortune and desire to alleviate it. What happened to compassion? What happened to the acts of kindness? What happened to am I my brothers keeper? What happened to love thy neighbor as thyself? The truth is that we have now turned into a community of me, myself and I. It is time that we go back and act like Jesus. We must show compassion on our brothers and sisters.

Jude here in our text today let's us know that a difference is made when we show compassion. The question I want to ask,
"Are you willing to make a difference"?

Message on the go!!!
