Thought for Today: Shabbat March 11:

The word compassion comes from two Latin words meaning – to suffer with. What better picture to describe YHVH’s Compassion for us? The greatest act of compassion in the history of the human race was the Cross, for there Moshiach has suffered for us. He endured sin’s penalty so we would not have to endure it ourselves. Now He calls us to have compassion on others, for His sake – to suffer with them and to point them to the One Who suffered for them as well. The Bible says: [Be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble] – 1 Peter 3:8.
