Lesson 22 - The Life and Ministry of Jesus - Part II

His Compassionate Ministry 

	"But when He saw the multitudes, he was
   moved with compassion on them, because they
   fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having
   no shepherd" (Matthew 9:36). 
	"Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude,
   and was moved with compassion toward them, and he
   healed their sick" (Matthew 14:14). 
	"Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I
   have compassion on the multitude, because they
   continue with me now three days, and have nothing to
   eat..." (Matthew 15:32). 
	"Jesus had compassion on them, (two blind
   men) and touched their eyes: and immediately their
   eyes received sight, and they followed him" (Matthew
   20:34). 
	"When the Lord saw her, (a widow going to bury
   her only son) he had compassion on her and said unto
   her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier"
   (Luke 7:13-14). 

How About Now?

	Hebrews 4:15-16: "For we have not an high
   priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
   infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we
   are, yet without sin. 
	"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
   grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
   help in time of need." 
	Hebrews 5:2: "Who can have compassion on
   the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for
   that he himself also is compassed with infirmity." 

To Minister and to Serve

	Mark 10:42-45: "Jesus called them to him and
   said unto them, Ye know that they which are
   accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship
   over them; and their great ones exercise authority
   upon them. 
	"But so shall it not be among you: but
   whosoever will be great among you, shall be your
   minister: 
	"And whosoever of you will be the chiefest,
   shall be servant of all. 
	"For the Son of man came...to minister, and to
   give his life a ransom for many." 
	He was their example. 

The following are some examples in various areas of His
compassionate ministry.
