How Does Jesus Show Compassion

Improved Essays
Jesus shows compassion to “the only son of his mother and she was a widow” because Jesus likes to give and protect to those who don’t have anyone that can protect. He came to teach us to give to those who can’t pay you back. His power and humility show through by it. His message was in Luke 6:13 “But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame , the blind and you will be blessed” That is why he came to show us compassion through his actions by helping those who were defenseless and weak. Therefore, they would not be able to pay back. He showed us to we know how to treat one

    Christ’s Humility Jesus Christ is the supreme exemplification of humility. He became a man to expose himself to the world. Philippians 2:7, “being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man,” Jesus freely deposited his rights aside, in order to become a human and serve the essentials of mankind. Which made him submit to death.…

    n chapter 3 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the issue of Jesus being someone who cures diseases and someone who is angry or loving. Reading this chapter I feel that Jesus is the loving type because he doesn’t reject anyone from knowing him. He wants people to know him and can share the gospel to other people so that when judgement day comes they will go to heaven rather than hell. One verse that stood out to me was Mark 1:33-34, “The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.…

    Chapter Five Five Strategies to Combat Compassion Fatigue The fifth chapter is the final presentation of the thesis projects conveying five approaches to combat the negative symptoms and signs of compassion fatigue.

    The movie progresses to depict the imminent threat of war and the monks are forced to decide whether to leave the community they love or to flee and seek safety elsewhere. The head monk, Christian, initially decides that the entire convent will stay and refuses to enlist an army for protection. St. Benedict summarized Christian’s decision to stay as a nonviolent presence in the community as “Let the leader strive to be loved rather than feared” (Article 8 (2472)). Another factor in Christian’s decision is his belief that Christ endured the ultimate persecution and rejection without violence, aggression or condemnation of his persecutors throughout the Passion Story (Mathew [26:67], Mark [15:16-20], Luke [23:35] and John [19:1-3]). Thus nonviolence…

    By examining a piece of literature, a reader can discover multiple patterns that enhance the story, their understanding of the piece and the experience it brings in general. The novel, How to Read Literature like A Professor, by Thomas C. Foster, describes and discusses many, varying patterns. One pattern he calls, “acts of communion”, explains how food and meals in a literary work can have a more significant purpose than just eating normally suggests. In addition, this novel discussed the uses of Christ figures in literature and the different characteristics that suggest the author’s intentions on comparing a character in their work with Jesus Christ. Both of these patterns are shown in the novel, A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest J. Gaines.…

    The artist I chose to write about was Kathe Kollwitz and the art I chose from her to write about is The Widow, from War (1921-22), published in 1923. This piece is in black and white like most of Kollwitz’s pieces. The woman has her head tilted down; she looks sad and possibly depressed. Her hands are worn and rough and one can tell she has worked hard during her life. Her belly is large indicating the woman is pregnant.…

    There are many bad people in the world but bad is not equal to evil. Christian faith teaches that we are to hate the sin but love the sinner. The actions that the men and women made during this stressful time should not define them as a person. The Holocaust brought out the worst in some people and the absolute best in others.…

    The Importance Of Revenge And Justice

    Those who seek revenge seek a “savage justice (Document D).” When people go out and try to get revenge for the wrong first inflicted on him or her, they overreact and often inflict more sin and hurt on the person than the person originally did. Document D continues to say that this will occur, and that people who are wise will ignore the past, and “know they have enough to do in the present.” Francis Bacon’s ideas are valid points, as looking back on the past prevents the future. The Bible builds on this idea by saying that every single person should “Love [their] enemies, do good to those who hate [them], bless those who curse [them], pray for those who mistreat [them] (Document A),” and by doing so, they are setting an example and perhaps even changing their “enemies” ways.…

    “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared. (New Living Translation, Matthew 8:2-3)”. The two scenes correlate in that the boy wants to help this man that no one would help because it would only bring them down, just as Jesus did with the leper that not a single person wanted to touch, because the man has the most vile of all diseases at this time in which the leper’s skin, literally falling off comes to Jesus, and Jesus heals the man by touching the untouched. This shows how boy has an endless amount of hope and tenderness in a world very bleak and dim, but through it all, the boy holds onto this false sense of hope in his somber world.…

    Slavery, during the 1800s, was physically hard for African American fathers, but not as hard as it was emotionally, on mothers. I recently read the primary sources of “Soloman Northup”, “A Mother’s Anguish”, and “Incidents in the life of a slave girl.” These abolitionists argue against slavery by demonstrating the strong, independent role of enslaved women through sacrifice, bravery and their love for family. The role of a sacrificial mother, is first shown in the article “A Mother’s Anguish.” A mother of two little children decided it was better for her children to die quickly than to suffer a long period of torture, “[she] thought of the toil, and stripes and misery her children must endure, she thought she would rather see them both dead.…

    Every day on God’s earth, we see the mother who works 17 hours a day at the laundromat, just so her child can have proper food on the table. We see the mother who endures countless challenges in life, just so her child can live calmly. We see the mother who works four jobs per day, just to fund her child’s college education, and the mother, whom on her deathbed, only asks that her child be looked after. These are mere examples of motherly love. This type of love has existed since the beginning of humanity and lasts until this day.…
