Give me a heart sympathetic and tender,
Jesus, like Thine, Jesus, like Thine;
Touched by the needs that are surging around me,
And filled with compassion divine. - Anon
Compassion is love in action. Matthew 14:14-21
[14] When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
[15] As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."
[16] Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
[17] "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.
[18] "Bring them here to me," he said.
[19] And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
[20] They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
[21] The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. |

예수님 당신처럼, 예수님 당신처럼
동정심 있고 부드러운 마음을 허락해 주소서
제 주위에 몰려오는 필요한 자들에게
하나님의 사랑을 가득 채워주소서
동정심은 행동으로 나타나는 사랑이다.
마태복음 14:14-21
[14] 예수께서 나오사 큰 무리를 보시고 불쌍히 여기사 그 중에 있는 병인을 고쳐 주시니라
[15] 저녁이 되매 제자들이 나아와 가로되 이곳은 빈 들이요 때도 이미 저물었으니 무리를 보내어 마을에 들어가 먹을 것을 사먹게 하소서
[16] 예수께서 가라사대 갈 것 없다 너희가 먹을 것을 주라
[17] 제자들이 가로되 여기 우리에게 있는 것은 떡 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리뿐이니이다
[18] 가라사대 그것을 내게 가져오라 하시고
[19] 무리를 명하여 잔디 위에 앉히시고 떡 다섯 개와 물고기 두 마리를 가지사 하늘을 우러러 축사하시고 떡을 떼어 제자들에게 주시매 제자들이 무리에게 주니
[20] 다 배불리 먹고 남은 조각을 열두 바구니에 차게 거두었으며
[21] 먹은 사람은 여자와 아이 외에 오천 명이나 되었더라 |
