"It was compassion that moved Jesus to go to the dark, death-ridden tomb, calling out 'Lazarus!', transforming the cries of mourning and misery into tears of joy. 

It was compassion that led Him to my tomb and yours, calling us by name. For 'God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.' If we want to follow Jesus, we must look at the world with compassion."

-Matt Roper-
