Compassion

Monday, October 26th, 2009
We owe it to eachother to show compassion. We’re all sinners and in our own power fallen short of the glory of God.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 3:23

It’s so easy to fall for self rightousness. In fact it is deep in the nature of man to blow up the mistakes of others, and fail to see our own faults. Jesus warns us against it:

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Matthew 7:3

God’s advocates

Sometimes it seems like Christians are too busy being God’s advocates of rightousness to remember compassion. God will handle judgement Himself. Our burden is to love eachother, not in every situation being morale guardians.

God has set a time of mercy. During this time people only suffer the natural fruit of their sins. Judgement comes later. God have given man free will and free playing ground. Our tool against sin during this time should first and foremost be compassion and love.

We’ve all missed the target. We’re all sinners. So show some mercy.
