The Grace of Christ be with you!
Contempt can act as an emotional flak jacket that keeps one from becoming involved in the suffering of others. Humility, though, brings one down to earth and allows compassion to move one to reach out to those who suffer. The experience of a personal tragedy can humble one and strip him or her of their emotional flak jacket. Yet, are there ways that a church can cultivate humility and help people move from contempt to compassion without waiting for some tragedy to occur?

Despite our sin, Christ did not look on the world with contempt but, instead, came to seek and save the lost. The church seeks to foster the compassion of Christ for the world by proclaiming the cross of Christ, by providing service opportunities, by calling for social justice, and by teaching its members how to be merciful as God has been merciful to us.
Blessings, Will
