Becoming More Like Jesus (Part 3)

Compassionate

• Matt. 9:35-36; 14:13-14; 15:32; 20:29-34
• He was moved by a widow’s plight. Luke 7:11-15
• The word signified to feel or be moved inwardly.
• Do not become hardened by life.
• Love your neighbor with genuine compassion. 

Concerned for Sinners

• Came to seek and save the lost. Luke 19:10; Matt. 1:20-21
• Often misunderstood. Luke 5:30; 15:1-2
• We will be more effective if we seek the lost as friends concerned for their souls.

Couldn’t Make Everyone Happy

• Luke 7:31-34
• What others think matters. 1 Cor. 9:19-23; 2 Cor. 8:20-21
• Yet, we cannot please everyone. 
• Do the right things and do them with love for God and others, but know that some will still not be happy with you.

Conclusion

• Be compassionate and seek the salvation of others.
• Accept the reality that not everyone will be pleased with you.
• It’s not always easy to follow Jesus, but see where it leads.
• Jesus came to save sinners—has He saved you?
