many many people when they come to the end of their life and stand before the Lord or even before they leave, they have a lot of regret about many things they did, many words they spoke to their loved ones especially to their husband or wife or the hard way they treated their children, and especially in a church like this where we have such a high standard. [00:00:00]

I want to read a verse in Isaiah chapter 49. It says here, speaks here about compassion, verse 13 the last part, the Lord has comforted his people in her love compassion on his afflicted. Verse 15. Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb even these may forget but I will not forget you. [00:01:19]

and you know our children also as they grow up, they can hear all these high standards in the church and one they can feel condemned and rejected, the more sensitive ones, and I'll tell you what I've also seen that some of our children can become spiritually proud, yeah in CFC churches, because they feel we are living such a good life and we know so much Doctrine. [00:02:41]

teach them that more important than all the things they accomplish on Earth is to have compassion, and the measure in which your compassion, in that measure you're like Christ. There's another verse here that the Lord has spoken to me this by the way is a chapter God gave me. [00:03:41]

you can never be a leader without compassion, you want to lead your children in Godly ways compassion, you want to be a leader in a church compassion, you want to minister God's word to people compassion, you can preach high standards but it must come out of a heart of compassion, not artificially trying to show compassion to others a heart that God sees has got compassion. [00:04:35]

Jesus knew all about her, and you know he she said I don't have a husband, in John 4 17 and Jesus said yeah I know you had five husbands, and the one you're living with is not your husband he saw through completely but he had no judgmental Spirit on her. [00:05:25]

I don't believe God will ever allow people to enter into his kingdom who look down another human being whom he has created because they are not up to his level or socially not that level I want to warn you it's my job as a servant of God to warn you you'll miss God's Kingdom. [00:06:23]

and he comes under a tree and the Holy Spirit says stop, the holy spirit says to Jesus look up that man's name is Zacchaeus you know spirit is telling Christ and Zaki has come down I want to stay with you tonight, a man who was despised by the whole city. [00:10:20]

and say Lord I want to live for you, they may misunderstand me that's okay, I'm not here to judge them, and that's what led this man to Christ, and Jesus proclaimed such wonderful words to him salvation has come. [00:11:14]

I press toward the goal goal again for the price, what is the price, it's not that empty Golden Ball that some team got today, but is the price of becoming like Christ more and more, becoming compassionate like him. [00:13:26]

let's not forget compassion like we sang in that song, life passes so quickly, especially those who are near you, be careful that you don't hurt them, if you see them stumbling, don't uh despise them, be careful especially of those who are old and weak if you've got an agent mother or father who are stumbling, be compassionate towards all of them. [00:14:10]

and keeping separate from Babylon and all its corruption, let's not forget compassion like we sang in that song, life passes so quickly, especially those who are near you, be careful that you don't hurt them, if you see them stumbling, don't uh despise them, be careful especially of those who are old and weak if you've got an agent mother or father who are stumbling, be compassionate towards all of them.
