Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Kaster Chuck continues with having compassion as we pick up in 1st Peter chapter 3 verse 8 and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck. Finally addressing now, be of one mind, having compassion for one another.

Love, as brethren, be pitiful.

Now, that word has changed in the usage too.

It would better be translated full of pity.

You see that's what it's actually saying, pity full.

But we've come to think of pityful as poor cat that's lost an eye or something.

So be full of pity or another translation of the Greek word is tender-hearted. Be a softy.

Be tender-hearted.

I pray that God will always grant to me a tender heart, a heart of compassion. To be like

Jesus I must have it. How many times do you read in the Gospel and Jesus looked upon them and had compassion

on them? He was tender-hearted. He was a soft touch. Anybody could get to him. He was always moved by the needs of people.
