The Importance of Being Moved With Compassion

The Bible says that Jesus was a man of sorrows acquainted with grief. When he was here, he was always weeping. The reason he was feeling everyone else's sorrow and pain was because he had a perfect love relationship with God. That love relationship freed him from his self-absorption so he could feel other people's troubles. And as a result, he actually did feel the sorrows of the world more than we do.
