Colossians 3:12-17 & Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

 

“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Compassion compels us to respond and move. It does not remain in the realm of mere sympathy or feelings of pity. Compassion becomes compassion when what is internally felt inspires an external response—the concrete act to love those who suffer. In this week's passage, Jesus, surrounded by a crowd tells the famous parable of the prodigal son. What does it mean to experience God through the concrete act of compassion?

Join us this morning at 11:00am as our series, "All Things Sacred," continues with "Seeing the Sacred in Compassion"
