Tetelestai Week 3: Compassion

Jesus's actions on the cross demonstrate perfect compassion, even in His darkest moment. While suffering, He ensured His mother's care by entrusting her to John, showing that true compassion extends beyond mere sympathy to practical action. This divine compassion differs from human compassion by being both specific and universal, holistic in addressing both physical and spiritual needs, and sacrificial rather than self-preserving. As followers of Jesus, we're called to mirror this comprehensive care by taking concrete action to help others, even when it costs us something.
