To begin with, the question on the table is, "Have you ever felt completely lost in life?" In other words, no matter how hard you tried you still couldn't seem to find your way. When you think about it – did anyone show you any compassion? Hence this podcast episode – Lost and Found: The Compassion of Christ. 

In general, most people have experienced a sense of helplessness at some point, even if they don't admit it. No doubt, some of you may be feeling lost this very moment. To continue, others feel like they are a lost cause. But, I'm here to tell you – that is not true. In fact, you are valuable! 

As we can see, Luke 12:7 Easy-to-Read Version says, “{Yes, God even knows how many hairs you have on your head. Don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many birds.” 

Are you compassionate? 

Broadly speaking, most people have a level of compassion towards others. Whereas others do not have a compassionate bone in their bodies. Have you ever been insensitive or coldhearted towards a person or group of people? If so, then there is a lack of compassion for that person or group of people. 

Now Jesus of Nazareth, He had compassion like no other. In fact, He is the perfect example of what compassion looks like in practice. And we see several examples in Luke chapter 15. When He saw a need, He met the need. So, why is Jesus' compassion like no other?  

A compassion like no other 

No, I'm not leaving you hanging. The answer to the question of "Why is Jesus' compassion like no other?" Well, here it is in a nutshell. First, He saw people as valuable and He met their needs. Those who are lost are found in His presence.  

Next and most important, He gave His life so that the world through Him would be saved. Of course, that in itself is why I said most people have a level of compassion. Because if we are being honest, not too many people would be willing to help people who are lost for whatever reason. Hence, they certainly wouldn’t die for anyone. 

They may say it because it sounds commendable. But if it came right down to it, they wouldn't actually do it. Again, that is why the compassion of Jesus is like no other.
