One of the elements of modern life that many in our era hold dear is the idea of empathy—the direct caring for others whose current plights are difficult. And of course, believers are commanded to love their neighbors as themselves. But many exploit the idea of empathy to indicate that the need is not for them to love their neighbors, it’s that others like the rich who must pay the price for their empathy. But Jesus did the opposite, personally paying the full price of true, long-term empathy for every person! Join Kevin for this penetrating look at true empathy and its false impostors. // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.
