God’s Heart of Compassion
He wants you to experience His love in the depths of your heart and have the weight of oppression lifted from your life.Jesus modeled this heart of compassion for the afflicted and oppressed throughout His ministry. In study the life and ministry of Christ. He would go from place to place preaching the Good News, healing people of their sicknesses, and delivering those who were oppressed. But what motivated Him to do these good works? He was not seeking to build a platform, make a name for Himself, or show off His power. The Gospels give us clear insight into His motives:
And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. (Matthew 14:14, emphasis added)
And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them…So He began to teach them many things. (Mark 6:34, emphasis added)
Why did Jesus heal the sick and deliver the oppressed? He was moved with compassion for them. Why did He teach the multitudes? He was moved with compassion for them. It was compassion that inspired Jesus to feed the multitudes and raise the dead (see Matthew 15:32; Luke 7:12-15). His whole ministry was motivated by an abundant compassion that flowed out of Him to those around Him. Jesus was not driven by selfish ambition, a desire for power, or an aspiration to be famous. He was compelled by love.
Like Jesus, when we minister to others, it is so important to be moved with God’s heart of compassion. His compassion to flow through us so that people can experience God’s love in a whole new way.
