A. Moved with compassion

"And Jesus, moved with compassion,"

Five different situations and scenarios where JESUS was "moved with compassion":

1. When JESUS sees the crowd

Matthew 9:36 (Amplified Bible)

When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd.

Matthew 14:14 (Amplified Bible)

When He went ashore and saw a great throng of people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy) for them and cured their sick.

Mark 6:34 (Amplified Bible)

As Jesus landed, He saw a great crowd waiting, and He was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.

2. When JESUS sees our debts

Matthew 18:27 (Amplified Bible)

And his master’s heart was moved with compassion, and he released him and forgave him [cancelling] the debt.

3. When JESUS sees our sicknesses and diseases

Mark 1:41 (Amplified Bible)

And being moved with pity and sympathy, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be made clean!

Until now JESUS is moved with compassion when He's in this situation. Are you in any of these situation? JESUS is moved with compassion and He moves motivated by compassion.

Compassion or "splagchnizomai" in Greek meaning:

1. to have bowels yearn

2. to feel sympathy. People's sympathy can't do anything, but GOD's sympathy can do everything.

3. to pity

People's sympathy can't do anything, but GOD's sympathy can do everything.

What JESUS did to show His pity and compassion:

1. JESUS fed them

Matthew 14:14-17 (Amplified Bible)

When He went ashore and saw a great throng of people, He had compassion (pity and deep sympathy) for them and cured their sick.

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, This is a remote and barren place, and the day is now over; send the throngs away into the villages to buy food for themselves.

Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat.
