'A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.'

The above is a definition from an online dictionary. This definition cannot come close to describing the compassion Jesus had for the people and situations He found Himself involved with, desribed in the Gospel. That compassion, love in it's purest form can be found today in our relationship with a living God, Jesus.
