Jesus felt this emotion the most!? Compassion and the Character of God.
About this episode
The episode explores the deep emotion of compassion that Jesus felt, as described in the Gospels, and includes an imaginative exercise for listeners.
What does Jesus actually feel when he looks at you — worn out, knocked flat, barely holding on? The Gospels have a word for it. And it's nothing like the soft, managed thing we usually call "compassion." Today Brandon and Matt dig into Matthew 9:36, the Greek behind two of the most overlooked words in the Gospels, and a gut-level emotion that drove everything Jesus did. Then we close with an imaginative exercise to help you actually receive it — not just understand it.
