In this Gospel preaching you will hear about the compassions of God. Many times throughout the scriptures we can point to examples when God shows compassion to mankind.

Matthew 9:35-36 “35 And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

36 But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.”

Mark 1:32-45 “32 But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;33 and the whole city was gathered together at the door.34 And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him. 35 And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.

36 And Simon and those with him went after him:37 and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

38 And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.39 And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.40 And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.

41 But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.42 And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.43 And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,

44 and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.45 But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.”

Matthew 11:28-30 “28 Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and *I* will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

2 before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, be darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened,

4 and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

5 they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets;)

6 —before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern;

7 and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.”

25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.”

31 because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.”

11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.14 If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.

15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.16 Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.”
