Compassion

Episode 346

Angus Buchan

When we are loved by God we are more able to love the people around us. Angus implores us to exercise genuine compassion toward others.

Luke 15:20
“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him."

People everywhere on this earth are sitting in spiritual darkness and prison. Isaiah 49:6. Acts 13:47. God has given us an order, to show people the way home. Jesus is the Light of the world.

Hebrews 13:8. There is nothing more powerful than a personal testimony. Acts 6:10, 15. Steven became the first martyr as he testified about the power of God.
