Study: The Compassion of Christ

No One Has Compassion Like Jesus Has Compassion

Many times through the gospels, Jesus showed His great compassion for people. In the Book of Matthew, please read about some of those instances in the verses below:

Matthew 9:36
Matthew 14:14
Matthew 14:13-15
Matthew 15:32
Matthew 20:34


James 5:11 says,
"The Lord is full of compassion and mercy."


Christians are to be compassionate towards others in imitation of Christ.

Ephesians 4:32 says, we are to...
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Colossians 3:12 says,
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Despite our efforts to be compassionate towards others, the compassion Jesus showed for us when He died on the cross for our sins, surpasses all understanding.
