*that should read:
is there an example in the Bible?

Answer 1

This is an account of what will take place when the Lord Jesus returns in glory:

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Matthew 25:41-46

Answer 2

Jesus "Drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple." What was the problem? Profiteers, in cooperation with the priests, robbed visitors to Jerusalem by forcing them to purchase "approved" sacrificial animals and currencies at inflated prices. Even then Jesus was more than a man of compassion - He was also a man of bold action against people who oppressed. After driving out the moneychangers and the merchants from the temple courts, Jesus didn’t found "The Society for the Cleansing of the Temple" or any such thing. He got back to doing the business of the Messiah - showing the power of God in the context of compassion and mercy.

To take it a step further, Webster’s dictionary states that compassion “implies pity with an urgent desire to aid”. Pity alone without any desire to help the person usually leads to a more or less contemptuous attitude that differs completely from what Jesus was moved by. He did not just feel for people but he also sensed the urgent desire to help them!

Answer 3

There will be no example in the New Testament as that particular book shows him to be perfect. However nowhere does it say anything about his teenage years, it goes from birth to 20's to his death at 33. Since all that is missing it would be pretty safe to presume that there was a time, or two, that he didn't feel the compassion that he should have; an example would be that he was on the toilet and someone wanted a healing right then and there. I know I'd kick them out of my bathroom.

Answer 4

Jesus walked in perfect love.
This means He never committed sin.

Ever wonder how Jesus could sit in the synogouge and be angry because of their unbelief and hardness of heart, and in the next moment heal a person.
You don't understand love, this is why your asking this question.

Perfect love gives perfectly, it's true and does not need approval or acceptance. It does not need a return and will always give no matter how worthy the receiver is.
Perfect love will show compassion on who needs compassion, wrath on who needs wrath, patience on who needs patience. etc.. Love when complete is mature and the judgments of love are right because their is no evil in love.

Therefore, those who need compassion such as the crowds, received it. Those who need instruction such as the disciples received it, with patience and compassion Jesus instructed.
Those who followed the devil and refused to believe in who Jesus was, did not recieve compassion because God resist the proud but gives grace to the humble.

If they repented and turned from their pride and arrogance, they too would have recieved compassion because Jesus does not count evil, does not take joy in failure, and will always accept those who come to Him. He is not rejected or hurt by man because His joy and perfection come through God. Hence Jesus was a river, a river that came forth from God and flowed to man. The rocks and debris in this river were simply there, they did not stop the river, they could not stop the river and that river still flows today.

Answer 5

EZSum, you're 100% mistaken. Why answer if you don't know the answer? Regurgitating something you sort of heard once does not an accurate answer make.

He didn't feel compassion for the money-changers in the temple at the time, or for the Pharisees... but He felt compassion for Judas who betrayed Him. I think He only got genuinely angry when people disrespected His Father, or crushed the people while remaining outwardly spiritual. The sheer hypocrisy of it, and how it messed with His people. He had no concern for Himself, though.

Answer 6

The Bible is full of Jesus showing compassion for different people from whores to ones with leprosy. Pops

Answer 7

Jesus at the Temple
Matthew 21:12
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.

Answer 8

Jesus is the only person whom walked the Earth sin free. Jesus is love and peace. He has compassion on all and he wants all to follow him and God the Father.

Answer 9

He didn't seem to have a whole lot of compassion for the Pharisees! As a matter of fact, if you sift through the new testament, Jesus' harshest words seemed reserved for them. He called them whitewashed sepulchres, clean on the inside but full of dead men's bones. He called them vipers. He said they did they work of his father, the devil.

Interesting, since these men thought they were the religious "elite" of the day. Jesus seemed to have His most forgiving words for abject sinners, who called on Him for mercy.

Answer 10

The money changers in the temple were just trying to make a living and he beat the crap out of them with a knotted rope because they cheated people. That's the best one I know of.
