The
compassion of Jesus is extraordinary. The
compassion that marked His life on the earth is the way He is now. It is not
only that He sees and hears us, but He attends to us. As He died, we see this
extraordinary compassion in Jesus, as He attends to the request from the
condemned man on the nearby cross.
Jesus was
weakened to the point of death, emotionally and spiritually drained, isolated
and abandoned with the sin of the world laid upon Him. Yet He responds to this
condemned man of sin, in love with the gift of eternal life. How can we ever doubt that Jesus will not see
us, hear us or attend to us?
Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when
You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you,
today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43 NKJV).
