COMPASSION LIKE JESUS

COLOSSIANS 3:12 NIVTherefore, as God’s chosen

people, holy and dearly loved,

clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,

humility, gentleness and patience.

COLOSSIANS 3:13-14 NIVBear with each other and

forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against

someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds

them all together in perfect unity.

COLOSSIANS 3:12 MSG

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: Compassion, Kindness,

Humility, Quiet strength, Discipline.

SEE AS JESUS SEES

See as Jesus sees ME

See as Jesus sees OTHERS

LOVE AS JESUS LOVES

TREAT AS JESUS TREATS

When I act in God’s character, I open up an avenue for Him to reveal Himself in His

love, power and wisdom.

PUT YOURSELF IN SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES

You need humility to be able to put

yourself in someone else’s

shoes.

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-4 NIV

Philippians 2:3-4 NIVDo nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value

others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests

but each of you to the interests of others.
