Do Unto Others with Compassion
In the comic book series, Spider-Man, the moral compass for the main character is a quote from his uncle, “With great power, there must also come great responsibility!”
Long before Spider-man came along, the Bible said something very similar in Proverbs 3:27, “Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.” Of course, the verse begs the question, “Who deserves it?”
Jesus’ answer to that very question is a timeless tale about a man walking down a dangerous road in a perilous part of town. When we look at this story, three heart conditions are seen.
1. The Corrupt Heart
2. The Callous Heart
3. The Compassionate Heart
