Walk This Way (Part 3): Compassion

The next spiritual discipline in Pastor Dana’s sermon series is compassion. Luke 10:25-37 shows the compassion of the Good Samaritan, who went out of his way to care for the robbed man. Then, Luke 16:19-31 tells the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, where the rich man showed no compassion to the poor Lazarus while alive. Compassion cannot be proved by our belief in it, but by proximity: who we are drawn to and how we disrupt our lives to tend to their needs.
