THE COMPASSION OF JESUS

Studying for my sermon this past week on how God is Compassionate, I ran across a story I'd read a number of years ago. It's something that Tony Campolo was a part of a number of years ago. He organized a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's a great story. It reminds us that we need to go about doing God's work in the world -- preaching good news to the poor, proclaiming freedom for the captive, and releasing the oppressed. You can view Tony Campolo himself telling the story by clicking the title of this post.

By the way, we've got links to the Love Alliance at our church website. There's lots of great information there about how you can be involved in making a difference by doing the work of Jesus in our world.
