I remember watching the movie Ben Hur which went on to win 11 Oscars. There are two scenes in the movie that stick out. The first scene is where Ben Hur is taken captive across the desert and when brought to an oasis pleads for water. The centurion on guard warns that no one will serve water to Ben Hur. Then about that time Jesus steps in and feeds him water. A few years later Jesus carries his cross across the streets of Jerusalem. He falls beneath the weight of the cross and here comes Ben Hur and serves him water.
Jesus was compassionate toward people. The bible tells us that whenever he saw poor and sick people he felt sorry for them. He went about doing good. That is the character of God both kind and compassionate. There is something we can learn from.
