A Word We Need
There la an old English word
that la not used often nowadays.
Maybe the reason It ts seldom used
U that the thing It means Is seldom
met with. It Is the word "compas
sion " Literally. It means "suffer
ing-with." When it is said by Mat
thew that Jesus bad compassion on
the crowds. It means literally that
he knew how they felt, what they
needed, where they hurt; and that
In his own heart he suffered with
them Their needs were his needs,
their pain his pain That is com
passion; but it is not yet the whole
of It There Is something more An
artist (let us say a novelist) has
lohave compassion, o* a sort Many
novels and stories have been writ
ten. for Instance, about bull fight
ers. and some of the story tellers
have shown a high degree of imag
inative power You might almost
fancy they had been bullfighters
themselves, as to be sure some of
them have been. But few If any
of these story-writers have done
anything to put a stop to the brutal
sport of bull-fighting They feel the
tragedy of the whole business yet
they do not pro; use to do anything
about it Compassion, as Jesus felt
it, never was a mere emotion. It
was emotion harnessed to action
? ? ?
Harrassed and Helpless
The Revised Standard Version
translates beautifully Matthew's
description of the crowds who
moved Jesus to compassion They
were "harassed and helpless." he
says The interesting thing is that
It took Jesus to see this Some
could see only that .here were a
lot of people, and they took up a
lot of room, and there was hardly
room or time for Jesus to eat
Others?the Pharisees?could see
only their Ignorance: "This multi
tude that knows not the law is ac
lrsed." Others (as was the case
itb the disciples on a later occa
on) realized only that the crowd
oked hungry Well, the people
ere numerous, they were no
oubt ignorant, and most of them
ere chronically IB-fed. But the
olnt 1*. the people who sew them
( this light did not have com
asion. ell they felt was annoy
nce The crowd* were a nuisance,
eaus felt quite different toward
lem. He saw them as they were,
arassed and helpless. You your
elf run Into crowds, or you read
bout them How do they strike
out Do they frighten you, amuse
ou, annoy you or make you
ngry? The masses today are very
ttle different from the masses In
eaua" time Can you tee them a*
ley ere, harassed and helpless!
jid does It stir you to do some
rtng about It? Then you know
omething about the compassion
t* heart
? ? ?
Tie Inmost Need
There ts another Important fact
bout Jesus' compassion One can
ot call It unique, for the best
Ihristians have shared it He was
ble to see beneath the .surface of
hlngs to people's real needs The
oung man brought by his four
riends to Jesus probably was
hinking chiefly about his helpless
rms and legs Jesus looked knd
aw his helpless soul The publi
an Matthew may well have felt
orry for himself because business
?as bad, or because he was not
topular Jesus' compassion went
leeper; he felt Matthew's real
leed?to get away from the publi
