You are listening to Radical with David Platt, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from

pastor, author, and teacher David Platt.

We are in a series calling Radical, what the gospel demands.

Most of the year up to this point we have been talking about the gospel and the implications

of the gospel for our lives.

If we really believe this gospel, it changes everything about how we live.

If we don't believe this gospel, then routine, perfunctory, religious motion, and activity

makes sense.

We're just playing games anyway on Sundays.

But if we believe this gospel, the implications are radical for the way we view our lives,

for the way we view the church, for the way we view those who are lost, and the way we view

those who are poor.

This morning we're going to look at the way the gospel radically changes the way we view

the lost, the way we view people who

do not have a relationship with Christ.

Gospel demands radical compassion.

I want to show you two ingredients of radical compassion in Matthew 9 and 10 today.

Number one, I want to show you in the word supernatural awareness of

the condition of the lost. First ingredient of radical compassion is a supernatural awareness

of the condition of the lost. And second ingredient is a sacrificial obedience to the commission

of Christ. Supernational awareness of the condition of the lost and sacrificial obedience to the commission of Christ.

Supernational awareness of the condition of lost and sacrificial obedience to the commission of Christ.
