When I wrote the first post on this scripture, I got lost in compassion.  I hope to bring out the other qualities Jesus displayed this trip.

Luke 7
King James Version (KJV)
“Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.   And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.   And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.”

Raising the dead, healing the sick, comforting the broken hearted.  Jesus had compassion on them because “He first saw them.”

Mark 2:5
“When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”

Mark 10:14
“But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”

Mark 12:34
“And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

Luke 13:12
“And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.”

Luke 18:24
“And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!”

John 5:6
“When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?”

It was opened eyes that led Him to compassion, we must learn to see, and recognize the Lords hand and plan.

Then we must learn to act. 

Only then the world will see, know, consider and understand that our God is alive and able to do exceedingly abudantly above all we ask or imagine.

Isaiah 41:20
“That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.”

The Gifts of the Spirit were given to build His Church.  Shouldn’t we see them and learn their use?  Sign posts to the Kingdom, need to be read, to be understood.

Open our eyes, Lord.  Amen
