The Compassionate Christ
While on the earth, Christ showed compassion on many different people. In Mark 10:1727, we have the story of a young man who came running to Jesus and asking, “Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” The same story in Luke 18:18-27 reveals the man was a ruler and that he was very rich. The story concludes indicating this young man chose not to follow Jesus and he walked away grieved. It appears the love of his riches influenced his decision. Jesus’ reaction is recorded in Mark 10:21, “Then Jesus beholding him, loved him.”
