Joh 11:21-25
(21) Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
(22) But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
(23) Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
(24) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
(25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

I. Martha knew Christ had power in the past.
"if you would have been here"

II. She knew he has power in the future
"I know in the last day, he'll rise again"

III. Jesus taught her that He has power in the present.
"I AM the resurrection and the life.

God has given us victories in the past....
We know that we win in the future.....
God gives us power to live each day.

Learn from the past, look to the future, live in the present!

Love them like Jesus

(Mar 6:30) And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
(Mar 6:31) And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
(Mar 6:32) And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
(Mar 6:33) And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
(Mar 6:34) And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

Compassion
COMPASSION, n.
1. A suffering with another; painful sympathy; a sensation of sorrow excited by the distress or misfortunes of another; pity; commiseration. Compassion is a mixed passion, compounded of love and sorrow; at least some portion of love generally attends the pain or regret, or is excited by it. Extreme distress of an enemy even changes enmity into at least temporary affection.

I. And Jesus, when he came out
  A. As Jesus was going --We are going
We are constantly on the go
  B. Jesus was a busy man, the disciples were busy people---WE are busy also
Busy with Jobs
Busy with families
Busy with church
  C. Jesus was going to much needed rest
Even our rest can be disturbed by people that need us
God will give supernatural rest when we act out of love

II. saw much people
  A. Are you aware of the people around you Men, women, children, teens, co-workers, etc
  B. Who are you associated with?
Just Christians
Just Sinners
Mixture
  C. He didn't just see their outward appearance - Saw their soul
We need to look past peoples outward appearance and reputation

III. and was moved with compassion toward them,
  A. Compassion-- That gut feeling where you hurt for what the other person is going through.
you associate with their pain, you identify with them
This is seen from God through out the whole Bible
      1. When God brought the Isrealites out of Eygypt.
      2. When he called them "his chosen" He identified with them
      3. It was compassion that drove Him to promise in the Garden of Eden that a        savior would come.
      4. It was compassion that allowed Him to Choose Noah
      5. And it was ultimately compassion that kept Him on the cross.
But just as faith without works is dead, so is feeling sorry for someone, without trying to help them is worthless.
   B.   "Moved" "toward" --- Both action words
Love is not love without action
Luk 10:30-37 And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead. (31) And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. (32) And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side. (33) But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him], (34) And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. (35) And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. (36) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? (37) And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

IV. Now what does that mean for us today?
We need to have compassion on the people around us.
  A. Those we are in contact daily
  B. Those who God places in our path

V. How do we show compassion?

Love them like Jesus
  A. Give to them to meet their needs
  B. Listen to them
  C. Be willing to take time for them
  D. Finally when you can't answer their questions, point them to Jesus who loves them

(Mar 12:37)
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly
Why did they listen to Jesus? He showed them compassion.
Do you want your lost friends and loved ones to hear you? Show them compassion.
