Living the Compassion of Jesus
When Jesus of Nazareth arrived on the scene some 2000 years ago, he did so with this announcement: “The kingdom of God has come near!”
These words perked the ears of his first hearers, but they can sound strange to ours. We aren’t expecting God to establish a new kingdom among us like the first century Jews did (we prefer democracy over monarchy anyway).
But deep down we do want the gift that Jesus brings. If Jesus were to come to us today he would surely use different words to express himself. His announcement might sound something like this:
“The Spirit of compassion has come upon earth!”
Luther House Campus Ministry is born of God’s compassion. We are swept up in the divine Spirit of compassion. We feel moved and called to be an outpost of compassion on the Oregon State University campus, living the compassion of Jesus with our words and our deeds.
Compassion is rooted in kinship. It is more than sympathy or empathy. With compassion, we don’t simply support each other or bear one another’s burdens; your burden becomes my own because we belong to each other. In relationship to Jesus we are family, brothers, sisters, siblings, kin.
That’s a great promise on a big, sprawling college campus like OSU. We all need a place to belong, a community of belonging we can count on. Compassion is the key.
At Luther House you will be cared for as God cares for you and for all. The gift Jesus came to give is here. Join us!
