"Compassion is a fundamental characteristic for effectiveness in our ministry in Christ to one another in the Church and to this world. Many of us like the idea of sharing in the royalty and rulership of Christ to do powerful things. But if the power of Christ is a characteristic of the nature of Christ, what about sharing in the compassionate nature of Christ in the priestly ministry of Christ?".....<br />

Thanks for sharing this inspiring exhortation. It is another illustration of Jesus' statement that unless we humble ourselves and become like little children we cannot be His disciples.<br />

Compassion is a fundamental characteristic for effectiveness in our ministry in Christ to one another in the Church and to this world. Many of us like the idea of sharing in the royalty and rulership of Christ to do powerful things. But if the power of Christ is a characteristic of the nature of Christ, what about sharing in the compassionate nature of Christ in the priestly ministry of Christ?<br />
<br />
Jesus lives today as our High Priest. Hebrews 4:15: For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.<br />
<br />
What is the nature and ministry of a priest? Hebrews 5:1-2:<br />
1: For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.<br />
2: He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.<br />
<br />
If Christianity is really Christ living in us, we who are Christians must share in the compassionate nature of Christ to manifest His life to others. In fact, we cannot share in the royalty of Christ without sharing in His priesthood. In Christ we become a royal priesthood!<br />
<br />
This is how the Bible describes God's people: 1 Peter 2:9-10:<br />
9: But you are a chosen generation, <b>a royal priesthood</b>, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;<br />
10: who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
