Field Trip for Compassion

A few of us made a trip to visit some of our members who were not feeling well. The purpose of this trip is to learn how we response compassionate way to the needs of other. We want to activate our sensitivity of mind toward others. So little things that we discover out of vast needs of people, will at lease stimulate our compassionate heart. Most of us feel closer to the families when we get closer to their struggles. We start to realize that we are so blessed and taking granted for a little thing that we have.

Our prayer after tonight is that Lord fill our heart with the compassion; fill our basket with compassion.

Jump in the Pool of Discussion

Tell me, when Jesus said to Peter and other disciples that they should bring weapon (Luke 22:38), did Jesus teach us "self Defense" lesson? Another word, can Christian practice self defense when God ask us to trust Him in every ways of our lives? Leave me your thoughts in comments section.

The Answer

Thanks for those who play this Q & A game. The answer is "all of the above."
Indeed, Judas Iscariot was greedy with money. Even when a woman poured expensive oil on Jesus, Judas was interrupting her not to waste it. For he wanted to steal it later. (John 12:4-6) Talk about money! Money! He also hated Jesus, just he being pointed out as betrayer at the last supper, obviously. (Matt. 26:21-25) He was also unsaved; Jesus said better for him not to be born (Matt. 26:24). In fact Scripture said about him as devil has entered in his heart. (John 13:2)
