  Speaker 1: today I have a beautiful word to share with you and I'm excited about it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And I want to start directly with telling you that you know the bible.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it again the Bible is a love story towards mankind.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It's a love story and there are many books and passages, scriptures, that make that and show it very clearly, and today I will get into some of them, a few of them, because we have limited time.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But I want to tell you, and I want to reassure you this morning, the way God looks at you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: First of all, I want to tell you and some of us need to hear it constantly, some of you need to hear it today that Jesus loves you.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: God loves you and have no doubt about it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And I will start with Jesus this morning.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And I want to tell you there are a number of times in the Bible where it mentions the word compassion, jesus having compassion on people.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Compassion is a deep word and I just want to tell you that of who else to be associated that word with aside to Jesus?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And I want to tell you, coming back to it, the Bible mentions multiple times the word compassion with Jesus and I want to tell you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He was constantly going through cities and villages spreading the good news of the kingdom of God and healing people from all kinds of sicknesses.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The Bible says I want to tell you that Jesus was on this planet many years ago.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: There might have been diseases which didn't even have names to them, and the Bible says Jesus healed them all.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, hallelujah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So you can only imagine the way the crowds must have been flocking to him.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Of course people would have come just seeking his hand and his healing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But but that's fine, because Jesus had compassion and that's why he would heal them, hallelujah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There's a time in the Bible and the Bible says I told you already that the Bible very clearly uses the word compassion.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The Bible says he feels compassion on the people because they're distressed and dispirited, like sheep without a shepherd.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine, not even knowing someone and just being at that place and feeling bad about the fact that they are distressed and dispirited, like sheep without a shepherd, the good shepherd having compassion?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: There is another time when Jesus has a crowd following him I think some of you know the story the feeding of the 5000 and the Bible says he has compassion on them and he looks to his disciples and says what do we have?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And they have 5 loaves and 2 fish.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And he takes it, he multiplies it and he feeds the people, just because he has compassion.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And he takes it, he multiplies it and he feeds the people, just because he has compassion.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: There's a time when Jesus is in Galilee and a leper comes to him.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something about this time when leprosy was on this planet.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Leprosy is not there anymore.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that have been removed through medication and medicine or whatever you want to call it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But there was a time when leprosy was a big disease and I want to tell you that the people who had leprosy would be asked to stay outside the city and they would stay in small camps together, because they all had leprosy and that's where they would be, and the people of the city, if they wanted to give them food or clothes, would go out, keep it at a particular point and leave, and the lepers would then go there and pick it up.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It must have been highly I don't know contagious, I guess Actually it is Was Used to be.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And there's a time when Jesus is in Galilee and a leper comes to him and falls on his knees before him, saying, if you are willing, if you are willing, make me clean.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says Jesus was moved with compassion.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And listen to this.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He stretched out his hands and touched him and says I am willing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says, immediately the leprosy left him, hallelujah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: There's a time when Jesus is leaving Jericho and the Bible says two blind men loudly call out to Jesus to heal them.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Some of you know the story of blind Bartimaeus.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Those of you who don't.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's a similar story.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And Jesus is leaving jericho, the bible says and there are these two blind people who are sitting at the, who are sitting outside the city, and they call out loudly to jesus and the crowds are trying to stop them and they're calling out even louder.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And yet again, the bible says jesus is moved with compassion and he goes to them and he heals them both.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: There's another time when jesus is in a city called nain and he's, he's, he's entering the city, he's approaching the city gates and there's this the bible says very clearly there's a dead man being carried out and the bible very clearly says it's the only son of his mother, who is already a widow, and the mother is weeping next to this dead body and jesus felt compassion.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: The bible says for her and he says to her do not weep.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And he's saying to somebody today do not weep.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And he's saying to somebody today do not weep.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says Jesus went up and touched the coffin and the bearers came to a halt and he said young man, I say to you, arise.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And the dead man sat up and began to speak and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, wow, just compassion For people who he didn't know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Of course he knew them, but technically he didn't know them.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Jesus would also speak parables and stories, and so many times when he's speaking to his disciples, he's talking about love and compassion.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Love your neighbor, neighbor as yourself.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: The prodigal son coming back after leaving his father's home and taking half his wealth.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And he comes back and the father runs towards him and kisses him.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's love and compassion.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: The good samaritan when you see someone who's on the road and you don't know them, be the Good Samaritan, have compassion on them, walk in love.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: All these are stories and parables, leading, of course, to a blessing and also the way of life, the way Jesus wanted us to live on this planet.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So I want to tell you this morning that Jesus has compassion on you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I want to start with thatesus has compassion on you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I want to start with that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: He has compassion on you no matter what.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He has compassion on your situations.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He has compassion on what you're going through and you know what?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Don't just take my word for it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I will show to you today through the word of god.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And before I get into it, I want to tell you that the shortest verse in the Bible says Jesus wept.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It's in the book of John.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: The Bible says Jesus wept and Jesus had a friend when he was on this planet.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: His name was Lazarus and he gets to know about Lazarus's death and he weeps.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The Bible says I want to tell you, weeping is a deep emotion and if Jesus wept for a friend, how much do you think he would weep and feel for you, his children, his chosen ones, the sheep for which the shepherd came on this planet?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: For Hallelujah and I'll start with somebody.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'll start with one of these scriptures and somebody needs to know it this morning.

• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He has inscribed you on the palms of his hands.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what the dictionary calls it a permanent record.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It's the definition of inscribed in the English dictionary a permanent record.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And today I'm going to take you to this beautiful Psalm.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: The Psalm, I've known it before, but I've come to know it at such a deep level now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful Psalm of David, and I just want to show you a different side of your father.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We all have earthly fathers and this is a spiritual father, and I want to show you a different side of him.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: This is a spiritual father and I want to show you a different side of him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And I want to tell you this morning don't put logic to this beautiful Psalm, just accept it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And it's so deep, the Psalm is so deep and it's so real to me this beautiful day, and I'm here to share it with you.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And if you accept it the way it is, it will change your life completely.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm going straight into it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It's from Psalm 139.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: In the first and second verse, psalm 139, o Lord, you have searched me and known me.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You know when I sit and when I rise up.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You understand my thought from afar.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, o Lord, you have searched me and known me.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You know where I sit and when I rise up.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You understand my thought from afar, hallelujah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It starts with telling you that jesus knows you, he knows your whereabouts, he knows where you sit down, he knows when you rise up, he knows your timetable.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: He knows your timetable.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He knows your schedule, hallelujah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: He knows your thoughts from afar, beautiful, hallelujah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: You scrutinize my path and my lying down and you are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Beautiful, and you are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Beautiful.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Scrutinize your path means he is watching where you tread, he's watching where you go.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He makes known your ways.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Don't think by any chance where you are today is a place that he doesn't know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Don't think that even once.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He knows where you are, whatever point of life you are in.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He knows where you are.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: He has made an effort.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: He has made an effort to know your whereabouts and your things, your doings.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, even before there is a word on my tongue behold, o Lord, you know it all.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You have enclosed me behind and before and laid your hand upon me.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Amen, hallelujah.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's like the second verse.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It says you understand my thought from afar, even before there's a word on my tongue.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, he knows your thoughts.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You don't need to put it into words.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, the bible says you need to pray.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It's just one of those things.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: But he knows your thoughts even before there's a word that comes out of your mouth.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: He knows it, hallelujah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And I want to tell you that it says you have enclosed me behind and before, which means he has put a hedge of protection around you, before you and behind you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Everywhere you go, all around you, his hand is upon you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Amen, 139, 6 says such knowledge is too wonderful for me, oh lord.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It is too high, I cannot attain it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: This knowledge is the wisdom of the most high.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It is a fact which david understood when he wrote this beautiful psalm.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: King David, that is.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It's a fact and it's what I have been here to.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's what I have been sent here to share with you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So don't, as I said before I started, don't make sense of it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Just absorb it, believe it and enjoy it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: This knowledge is too wonderful for me, oh lord.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It is too high, I cannot attain it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: This knowledge is too wonderful for me, o Lord.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It is too high, I cannot attain it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: On the seventh verse onwards, I'm going to read it to you and you will understand it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Where can I go from your spirit, o Lord, or where can I flee from your presence?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: If I ascend to heaven, you are there.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold heaven, you are there.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there, your hand will lead me, your right hand will lay hold of me.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, beautiful, where will you go?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He is always with you.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Is what this passage of scripture is saying amen, yes, you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You, you have doubts.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: You think you think you've been left in this place where you are right now and you think God is not with you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You're wrong.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: He is with you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: No matter where you go, he is always with you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And I still want to tell you that you would have deviated from the path like the prodigal son, but he still leads you.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And I still want to tell you that you would have deviated from the path like the prodigal son, but he still leads you.

  Speaker 1: Fearfully means the way I see.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Fearfully is somebody's hands shaking while they're making you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And I want to tell you this, and and this is for most of us, because we've always some of us, at some point of time, felt this, and the people you know on this earth might have disowned you and left you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Your spouses, maybe your kids, your colleagues, your siblings, your most precious friend, might have called you out as flawed and might have said you're not good enough and I don't like this about you or I don't like that about you.

• 20:33
  Speaker 1: There's this person who has a deep relationship with God and he talks to God every day and he takes a walk on the beach.

  Speaker 1: He stays next to a beach and he walks on the beach every day and there are two set of footprints and he notices, at the lowest times in life, there's only one set of footprints on the beach.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: There's only one set of footprints on the beach.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So in his time with the father, one day he asked him Lord, you're always with me and I always have a relationship with you, and I've just noticed that every time I'm at the lowest points in life, when I walk on the beach, I only see one set of footprints.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Why is that, o Lord?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Why do you leave me when I am at my lowest?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: And this is what Jesus said to him.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: This is what he is saying to you.
• 21:58
