“And what did he do when he saw the unclean? What was his first impulse when he came across prostitutes and lepers? He moved toward them. Pity flooded his heart, the longing of true compassion. He spent time with them. He touched them. We all can testify to the humaneness of touch. A warm hug does something warm words of greeting alone cannot. Gut there is something deeper in Christ's touch of compassion. He was reversing the Jewish system. When Jesus, the Clean One, touched an unclean sinner, Christ did not become unclean. The sinner became clean. Jesus Christ's earthly ministry was one of giving back to undeserving sinners their humanity.” CompassionUncleanChrist S Love Book:Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers Source: Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
“Christ got angry and still gets angry, for he is the perfect human, who loves too much to remain indifferent. And this righteous anger reflects his heart, his tender compassion. But because his deepest heart is tender compassion, he is the quickest to get angry and feels anger most furiously--and all without a hint of sin tainting that anger.” CompassionRighteous AngerHeart Of Christ Book:Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers Source: Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
