GO – Week 2 | The Compassion He Carried: Loving the Oppressed, the Outcast, and the Overlooked | Pastor Daniel Kolson
What if compassion isn’t simply something we feel… but something that moves us?
When Peter summarized the ministry of Jesus, he said something remarkably simple:
“He went about doing good.”
In Week 2 of the GO series, Pastor Daniel Kolson looks at the compassion Jesus carried—and the people He consistently moved toward.
Jesus noticed the people others overlooked.
The leper no one would touch.
The tax collector everyone despised.
The woman hiding in shame.
The sick, the poor, the captive, the stranger, and the forgotten.
And when Jesus saw people, compassion moved Him to action.
The New Testament word for compassion, splanchnizomai, describes something felt deeply within you. But biblical compassion never stops with a feeling. Throughout the Gospels, when Jesus was moved with compassion, something happened next.
He touched.
He healed.
He fed.
He stopped.
He moved toward people.
Because compassion always has hands and feet.
Through the Good Samaritan, Jesus shows us that our neighbor isn’t simply someone who qualifies for our love. The question is whether we are becoming the kind of people who will stop and love whoever God puts in front of us.
Sometimes the interruption is the assignment.
And sometimes changing someone’s life begins by simply seeing the person everyone else walked past.
