People who are students of Jesus consider the cost—am I willing to obey Jesus above everyone else I am close to, do I have what it takes to finish, am I strong enough to face the enemy, make difficult decisions in light of my commitment, and do what is needed to keep my commitment? Students of Jesus learn Jesus, disciples do so much more.
Have you ever noticed that people who love to fish, really love to fish. These people will fish in all kinds of weather throughout the year It’s amazing what some people will do to catch a fish. Today, we are going to look at a different type of fishing. One to which Jesus called four of His disciples. Becoming Fishers of Men.
Compassion is to be shown to the regulars as we might consider them. Rebellious people receive compassion because of who God is, not what they have done, because of his grace, not because they deserve it, because he is just, not because they are right. Repentant people are shown compassion because they learn to fear the LORD, usually because of the punishment put upon them; when rebellious or disobedient people return to God and cry out for deliverance, God shows them compassion. God wants to show his compassion to you.

Pass On Compassion

April 18, 2021
If you are a Christian, you have received God’s compassion and received Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins. Be motivated by God’s compassion to pass on compassion. Demonstrate God’s compassion through good deeds and teaching truth. If you are not yet a Christian, receive this information: God is compassionate. He loved you so much that he sent his Son to be a living example of his compassion. He demonstrated his love for you by sending his Son to die for your sins and your forgiveness.
Everybody who desires to see Jesus can see his revelation in creation, see him in his word, and see the changes in others who came to see Jesus. Jesus comes to the rescue when his believing followers “go into all the world and preach the gospel.”
As we talk about being the hands of Jesus, someone might be misled to think that we intend for Christians to do the impossible. There were quite a bit of things Jesus did that we are not capable of doing.
