PREMIER EXAMPLE OF COMPASSION

JESUS DIDN’T JUST WISH HE
COULD BE ACCURSED & CUT
OFF LIKE PAUL (& MOSES),
HE WAS ACCURSED FOR US!!
(GAL. 3:13; 1 PET. 2:24)
THE COMPASSION
OF JESUS
“This is said of Christ Jesus several times in the New Testament.
The original word is a very remarkable one. It is not found in
classic Greek. It is not found in the Septuagint. The fact is, it was
a word coined by the evangelists themselves. They did not find
one in the whole Greek language that suited their purpose, and
therefore they had to make one. It is expressive of the deepest
emotion; a striving of the bowels—a yearning of the innermost
nature with pity. “

CHARLES SPURGEON
THE COMPASSION
OF JESUS
“I suppose that when our Savior looked upon certain sights,
those who watched him closely perceived that his internal
agitation was very great, his emotions were very deep, and
then his face portrayed it, his eyes gushed like founts with
tears, and you saw that his big heart was ready to burst with
pity for the sorrow upon which his eyes were gazing. He
was moved with compassion. His whole nature was
agitated with commiseration for the sufferers before him.”
THE COMPASSION
OF JESUS
“Now, although this word is not used many times even
by the evangelists, yet it may be taken as a clue to the
Savior's whole life, and I intend thus to apply it to him.
If you would sum up the whole character of Christ in
reference to ourselves, it might be gathered into this
one sentence, "He was moved with compassion.”
CHARLES SPURGEON
THE COMPASSION
OF JESUS
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for
them, because they were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his
disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers
are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of
the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
MATTHEW 9:36-38
TRUE COMPASSION
ALWAYS LEADS TO
ACTION.
(PRAYING & SENDING OUT)
CHARLES SPURGEON
From, “The Wailing of Risca”
Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if
sinners will be damned, at least let them
leap to hell over our bodies.
And if they will perish, let them perish with
our arms about their knees, imploring them
to stop, and not madly to destroy
themselves.
If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in
the teeth of our exertions, and let not one
go there unwarned and unprayed for.
THE HEART OF A
LIFESTYLE OF
EVANGELISM IS
COMPASSION.
(NO OTHER MOTIVE WILL LAST)
COMPASSION
SHOULD DRIVE US TO
TENACIOUS
INTERCESSION.
COMPASSION
SHOULD DRIVE US TO
TENACIOUS PURSUIT.
WHAT IS

EVANGELISM?
DEFINITION:
SHARING THE TRUTH OF
THE GOSPEL WITH A
NON-BELIEVER.
(ROM. 1:16)
MOTIVES:
GOSPEL SHARING
SHOULD BE GOSPEL
MOTIVATED.
(2 COR. 5:14-21)
ROLES:
WHILE WE FAITHFULLY
PRESENT THE GOSPEL, WE
TRUST GOD TO DO THE
WORK OF CONVERSION.
(WE LEAVE THE RESULTS UP TO GOD)
WHO:
AS PART OF OUR NEW
IDENTITY AS AMBASSADORS,
ALL CHRISTIANS HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE OF EVANGELISM.
(2 COR. 5:20)
BEST TOOL:
THE BEST WAY TO REACH
YOUR FRIENDS IS BY
LEADING TARGET SPECIFIC,
RELATIONAL EBS’S.
APPLICATION:
GROW IN COMPASSION.
!

1. REHEARSE THE GOSPEL
2. REHEARSE YOUR TESTIMONY
3. SPEND TIME WITH THE LOST
4. MISSIONARY BIOGRAPHIES
A HEART FOR THE LOST
“The more I rehearse & exult in gospel
truths, the more there develops within
me a corresponding burden for nonChristians to enter into such blessing.”
“Hence, if I wish to have a ‘Romans 9’
kind of burden for non-Christians, I
should become practiced at celebrating
the gospel as Paul does in Romans 1-8.
Over time, my joy in the gospel will
become increasingly tinged with grief,
and this grief stained joy will lend a Godinspired passion to my ministry of
evangelizing the lost.”
APPLICATION:
TENACIOUSLY INTERCEDE
FOR THE LOST.
!

1. GET A SPECIFIC PRAYER PLAN
2. BEG GOD TO MOVE!
3. PRAY OFTEN & WITH OTHERS
APPLICATION:
TENACIOUSLY PURSUE
THE LOST.
!

1. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LOVE
& SPEND TIME WITH THEM
2. THE BEST TRAINING IS SHARING
ALONGSIDE AN OLDER CHRISTIAN
3. GO GET TRAINING THIS SUMMER

  • 5. PREMIER EXAMPLE OF COMPASSION JESUS DIDN’T JUST WISH HE COULD BE ACCURSED & CUT OFF LIKE PAUL (& MOSES), HE WAS ACCURSED FOR US!! (GAL. 3:13; 1 PET. 2:24)
  • 6. THE COMPASSION OF JESUS “This is said of Christ Jesus several times in the New Testament. The original word is a very remarkable one. It is not found in classic Greek. It is not found in the Septuagint. The fact is, it was a word coined by the evangelists themselves. They did not find one in the whole Greek language that suited their purpose, and therefore they had to make one. It is expressive of the deepest emotion; a striving of the bowels—a yearning of the innermost nature with pity. “ CHARLES SPURGEON
  • 7. THE COMPASSION OF JESUS “I suppose that when our Savior looked upon certain sights, those who watched him closely perceived that his internal agitation was very great, his emotions were very deep, and then his face portrayed it, his eyes gushed like founts with tears, and you saw that his big heart was ready to burst with pity for the sorrow upon which his eyes were gazing. He was moved with compassion. His whole nature was agitated with commiseration for the sufferers before him.”
  • 8. THE COMPASSION OF JESUS “Now, although this word is not used many times even by the evangelists, yet it may be taken as a clue to the Savior's whole life, and I intend thus to apply it to him. If you would sum up the whole character of Christ in reference to ourselves, it might be gathered into this one sentence, "He was moved with compassion.” CHARLES SPURGEON
  • 9. THE COMPASSION OF JESUS 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” MATTHEW 9:36-38
  • 10. TRUE COMPASSION ALWAYS LEADS TO ACTION. (PRAYING & SENDING OUT)
  • 11. CHARLES SPURGEON From, “The Wailing of Risca” Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stop, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
  • 12. THE HEART OF A LIFESTYLE OF EVANGELISM IS COMPASSION. (NO OTHER MOTIVE WILL LAST)
  • 13. COMPASSION SHOULD DRIVE US TO TENACIOUS INTERCESSION.
  • 14. COMPASSION SHOULD DRIVE US TO TENACIOUS PURSUIT.
  • 16. DEFINITION: SHARING THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL WITH A NON-BELIEVER. (ROM. 1:16)
  • 17. MOTIVES: GOSPEL SHARING SHOULD BE GOSPEL MOTIVATED. (2 COR. 5:14-21)
  • 18. ROLES: WHILE WE FAITHFULLY PRESENT THE GOSPEL, WE TRUST GOD TO DO THE WORK OF CONVERSION. (WE LEAVE THE RESULTS UP TO GOD)
  • 19. WHO: AS PART OF OUR NEW IDENTITY AS AMBASSADORS, ALL CHRISTIANS HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF EVANGELISM. (2 COR. 5:20)
  • 20. BEST TOOL: THE BEST WAY TO REACH YOUR FRIENDS IS BY LEADING TARGET SPECIFIC, RELATIONAL EBS’S.
  • 21. APPLICATION: GROW IN COMPASSION. ! 1. REHEARSE THE GOSPEL 2. REHEARSE YOUR TESTIMONY 3. SPEND TIME WITH THE LOST 4. MISSIONARY BIOGRAPHIES
  • 22. A HEART FOR THE LOST “The more I rehearse & exult in gospel truths, the more there develops within me a corresponding burden for nonChristians to enter into such blessing.” “Hence, if I wish to have a ‘Romans 9’ kind of burden for non-Christians, I should become practiced at celebrating the gospel as Paul does in Romans 1-8. Over time, my joy in the gospel will become increasingly tinged with grief, and this grief stained joy will lend a Godinspired passion to my ministry of evangelizing the lost.”
  • 23. APPLICATION: TENACIOUSLY INTERCEDE FOR THE LOST. ! 1. GET A SPECIFIC PRAYER PLAN 2. BEG GOD TO MOVE! 3. PRAY OFTEN & WITH OTHERS
  • 24. APPLICATION: TENACIOUSLY PURSUE THE LOST. ! 1. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LOVE & SPEND TIME WITH THEM 2. THE BEST TRAINING IS SHARING ALONGSIDE AN OLDER CHRISTIAN 3. GO GET TRAINING THIS SUMMER
