Filled With Compassion

3 Nephi 17-19 | Sept 28 – October 11

After Jesus had finished teaching, the people looked at Him with tears in their eyes, as if they wanted Him to stay longer. Jesus had compassion on them and asked them to bring their sick and afflicted to Him so He could heal them. Then he called the little children to come to Him. Jesus prayed for the people, filling them with joy. Then Jesus blessed each of the children one by one. Angels encircled them and ministered unto them. Jesus prayed for the people with words that could not be written, but the people understood with their hearts.

Scripture

3 Nephi 17:6–7

“And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you. Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.”

“The Savior’s compassion in the face of our imperfections draws us toward Him and motivates us in our repeated struggles to repent and emulate Him. As we become more like Him, we learn to treat others as He does, regardless of any outward characteristic or behavior.” Dale G. Renlund
