DAD'S DAILY BREAD

Sermon Notes Pastor Kobe Orr

35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 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.” Mt 9:35–38.

Duet 4:7 Compassion= deep internal feeling of mercy. God sees us in our suffering! vs.36 Jesus does not look at His people with guilt and shame. He has compassion. Ps 139: 1-4 He sees us and He is aware of us. And it’s not because He has to. It’s because He loves me and cares for me! Ps. 56:8

God feels our suffering! vs.36 He doesn’t see us as a problem to be solved but loved us enough to help us when we couldn’t help ourselves! John 1:1 He willingly subjected Himself to every aspect of sin. Heb 4:16 But He didn’t sin! He can fully relate to anything we could be going through! He knows what it’s like to be abandoned. He knows what it is like to suffer loss. He knows what it is to suffer physically. The King who should have been worshiped was spit on by everybody. Isa 53:3 His empathy is accompanied with action! He will relieve the problem! Pity sees the problem and empathy helps you through the problem. God cares about our present suffering! He sees it and presses in to deliver!! Ps 34:18 YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!! 1 Pet 4:7 Matt 11:28 Isa 42:3 Jesus meets us in our weakness! Lam 3

Our God Cares! This is why we pray. God still intervenes! Today is the day to come home!!! God is full of compassion just like a father to a lost son. Don’t separate yourself from the love of Christ. Don’t lose sight of the cross!! Rom 5:8 Do not allow sin to block your view of the cross! Get rid of it! God sees us and feels with us! Run to God in your suffering! He is inviting you to run to Him! Go to the Word! Come to worship! Engage with the community! Gal 6:2 Adopt God’s heart of compassion for others! Be Jesus for others! We should show eternal compassion. Just like Jesus does for us every minute of every day. Adopt Jesus heart of compassion for others around us. God gave us a hope and now it’s up to us to share it with the lost. Thank You Lord

APPLICATION:

Don’t hide the hope of Jesus! Live out what I believe. Do not be scared of what others think. Apply scripture to every area of my life. Be humble and have compassion for others.
