He Had Compassion
About this episode
This sermon emphasizes the compassion of Jesus and the Church's reliance on the Word of God amidst a competitive world.
In this sermon for Pentecost 3, the focus is on the profound compassion of Jesus. He sees humanity as 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd,' and responds not just with pity, but with action—teaching, healing, and calling his disciples to be laborers in the harvest. The message emphasizes that while the world prioritizes competition and the 'survival of the fittest,' the Church's authority and strength lie solely in the Word of God, which provides abounding grace and forgiveness to the ungodly and the weak. Ultimately, the sermon invites the weary and frightened to trust in the Good Shepherd who died for sinners to bring them eternal life and a peace that passes all understanding.
