Compassion
Section III, overview: The glory of Jesus Christ, in an applicable sense, is His character: it is who He is. The beholding of and pursuit of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ ought to be the Christian man’s chief enjoyment and focus. It is through this vital act that we are conformed and transformed into His glorious image; through this overriding passion our lives are transformed and the image of Jesus which we reflect becomes clearer. Our lives are given purpose, strength, peace, hope, love, and all other good things when we fixedly place our gaze on our King, Shepherd, Groom, Mediator, and Savior – Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life is the ultimate blueprint for any man’s life. His glorious character far outshines every single person ever to live, and so we will look at His character, His glory, and find therein great and vital instruction for our lives, as well as magnificent encouragement.
A compassionate man is one who sees the compassion flowing out of God’s heart, and in love for His God and in fellowship with Him, produces the same. The compassion which Jesus has for us, is such that it provokes us to forgive, shepherd, teach, help, heal, and minister life. The compassion of God is one of the sweetest traits of our God: it is that which provokes Him to treat us as His own children, forgive us, and aid us in all situations; and that which provoked Him in part to enter into our suffering, that He might be to us a merciful and faithful High Priest.
