This month, January is the month of “Compassion.” We have twelve baskets for twelve months in this year where we are focusing on “Twelve Baskets ministry.” We have launched the first basket called “Compassion” after the example of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 14:13-21. Jesus was moved with compassion for the multitudes. Actually at that moment when multitude followed Him, he was trying to separate Himself from everyone. The reason was that Jesus heard the news of John the Baptists who was killed in prison by be-heading which previous verses mentioned in context. Jesus was over warmed by the sad news and definitely He was sorrowful. Normally, no one can really have compassionate heart for anyone at this kind of circumstance that Jesus was in. Regardless of His situation, Jesus’ heart was full of compassion (Ps.145:8).
Compassion; I can understand this way;
- Giving extra favor for someone
- Doing more than necessary for someone
- Being in love with
- Understanding someone’s need more than self
- Standing together in single need
So, let us practice our lesson from Jesus that we will show our compassion to others, especially this month. Let us do something extra for someone who would need your compassionate heart.
