“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” Philippians 2:1-2
Showing compassion and mercy to people on a consistent basis can be tough. We’re all selfish people at our core. All sorts of things get in the way and cause us to lose sight of how important it is to show Christ-like compassion to others. In Lesson 1 we talked about how Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God’s compassion.
Grab a piece of paper or make a note on your phone and take a moment and write down 3-5 ways Jesus shows compassion. Now, take a minute and write down the top 3-5 things that get in the way of you being Christ-like in showing compassion. Look at the two lists. How do you move from being wrapped up in the things on your second list to being more Christ-like and looking more like the first list?
