Suffering challenges our compassion. While on the cross, Jesus, barely clinging to physical life, notices an opportunity to help someone else–his own mother. He no doubt senses her horror and pain as she watches her son slowly die. Jesus tells John to take care of her. In the midst of tremendous physical and emotional distress, Jesus showed compassion. Despite the circumstances going on in your life, look for ways to show compassion to others today.
