Compassion of the Son of God
Backgrounder: Jesus’ ministry
is not reserved for the temple.
At any time and place, He is ready
with a word and a healing touch.
Nicodemus comes by night seeking
answers and finds the miracle of
the second birth. The Samaritan
woman comes seeking water at
the well and leaves to tell her city
about a source of living water
that will never run dry. The paralytic
at the pool finds that even 38 years
of lameness is no obstacle to
the miracle-working Son of God.
Jew or Samaritan, religious leader
or religious outcast… Jesus’
Compassion knows no bounds.
Dear Lord Jesus, You show in
Your earthly ministry Your deep
Compassion for people in need;
whether it be Nicodemus’ seeking
answers to spiritual truth; or
Samaritan woman’s seeking
the source of living water or
paralytic’s need for healing.
Help us Emulate Your Compassion
both in words as well as in deeds;
for everyone needs compassion.
Help us Respond to Your Love;
Help us Spread the Good News;
Help us Follow the Father. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Respond to Your Love:
For God so Loved the world that
He Gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal
life. God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn it,
but to save it (John 3:16-17).
Lord Jesus, it can be difficult to
comprehend love so great as Yours.
You laid down Your life for me
so that I can live forever with You.
Help me to lay down my life for You
to serve Your purpose here on earth.
My response to Your first loving
me is to Love You Wholeheartedly
in return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, we’ll Spread the Good News:
The woman left her water jar
beside the well and went back
to the village and told everyone:
Come and Meet a man who told
me everything I ever did! Can this
be the Messiah? So the people
came streaming from the village
to See Him (John 4:28-30).
Lord, forgive me when gratitude
over knowing You has waned.
I want others to know You and
experience Your work in their lives.
Use me to Spread the Good News
especially to those in my circle.
Pray that I will be so amazed by
what You have revealed that I will
not hesitate to share the hope with
those who don’t yet know You. Amen
Lord, we will Follow the Father:
Jesus explained: I tell you the truth,
the Son can do nothing by Himself.
He does only what He sees the
Father doing. Whatever the Father
does, the Son also does. For the
Father loves the Son & shows Him
everything He’s doing(Jn 5:19-20)
Lord, I turn my gaze from earthly
circumstances all over to You.
Let me see thru Your eyes and align
myself with Your work around me;
for I want to honour You in my life.
Help me know clearly the right
thing to do in every situation
and give me the courage to do it.
Help me serve You, build Your kingdom & grow spiritually, so that
I will be ready for Your return. Amen
