Moved With Compassion The sermon centers on Jesus as the compassionate Shepherd who came not only to save His people from their sins but to govern, guide, and guard them through His presence, teachings, and healing power. Drawing from Matthew 1:21, 2:6, and 9:35–36, it emphasizes that Jesus' mission was to bring the gospel of the kingdom, heal every sickness, and move with deep compassion toward those who are weary and scattered like sheep without a shepherd. The preacher underscores the believer's responsibility to reflect Christ's character by being truth-ready, righteousness-ready, and gospel-ready—equipped with spiritual armor to stand firm in a world of deception and spiritual warfare. Ultimately, the message calls the church to be everyday missionaries, living out generosity, compassion, and faith, so that others may see Christ's work in their lives and be drawn to Him, not through judgment, but through the transformative power of His grace. Matthew 9:35–38; Matthew 1–2; Matthew 11 Well, thank You, Jesus. Amen and amen. If you've got your Bible this morning—your treasure chest, amen—the Word you've been searching, seeking, and loving on—turn with me to the Gospel of Matthew. We're up to Matthew chapter 11, but we're gonna let Scripture interpret Scripture, and we're gonna let Jesus tell us why He came and what He's still doing today. And before we go anywhere—let me say this—I'm insufficient to do what I get to do. I need Jesus' help. And I need you praying with me and for me. Amen? But oh my goodness… it is rich. It is good. It is good. We've walked through this Gospel a dozen times or more over the years—and I'll tell you—you never get to the bottom of it. T
