Later this week look at

Numbers 27             Psalm 23            Ezekiel 34        John 10:1-21

Notice though these examples that

Compassionate Leadership has always been central to God’s heart, and is a driving force in Jesus’s ministr

Compassion Motivated the Mission

Jesus didn’t just have a mission—He had COMPASSION

Jesus’ Why, How, and What

• WHY→ His love for and obedience to the Father—this was the divine motivation behind everything He did.
• HOW→ By being present, healing, teaching, proclaiming, and discipling in towns and villages.
• WHAT→ Restoring the lost and broken through the heart of a Shepherd

The kingdom didn’t start with a plan. It started with compassion

• Compassion isn’t just an emotion—it’s a holy ache that moves us toward someone else’s pain
• Jesus didn’t just point out the sheep’s problem—He became their shepherd
• Jesus didn’t just pray for help—He raised up harvesters

What Does All This Mean?

• Jesus didn’t just see the crowds—He sees you.
• He didn’t just feel something—He moved toward them. And He’s still moving toward us.
• We are not just recipients of compassion—we are called to mirror it.
