Call to Compassion

Have you ever noticed how small acts of kindness can bring light to someone’s day? Compassion is not just a feeling—it’s a reflection of Christ’s love in action.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus was moved with compassion, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and comforting the broken. Matthew 25:40 reminds us: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Compassion calls us beyond ourselves. It’s not always convenient, but it reveals Christ’s heart to the world. When we serve with compassion, we embody the gospel and become living witnesses of His love.

Propelling Point:

Compassion is love in action, showing the world who Jesus is through our care for others.

Propel Activation:

Look for one person this week who needs encouragement. Write them a note, offer a prayer, or simply listen. Let your compassion be a reminder of Christ’s love.

Scripture Meditation:

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” - Matthew 25:40
