Ninety four times the word 'compassion' is found in the Scriptures. More than just a few times Jesus is described as having "compassion on the multitudes."
Today I ran across this definition of compassion: "Your pain in my heart."
Can you feel that? To me, that's real compassion. The kind of real compassion I believe Jesus had for people.
Tom,
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the count on compassion in the bible? I've been writing a book on compassion for a few years now and I like the count you have and the quote you wrote.
