Put on a Compassionate Heart

“What is the difference between kindness and Christ empowered compassion?”

Sermon Summary

What is the difference between kindness and Christ empowered compassion?

Those who are in Christ are called to put on a compassionate heart, but this is radically different than just being polite. The Parable of the Good Samaritan shows us that Christ empowered compassion is deeply rooted within, is costly and risky, and gets involved in the lives of others. This kind of compassion can only happen through the transforming power of the indwelling Christ.

What do we do if we must confess that we do not have a compassionate heart?
