Scripture
:
What is empathy?
Empathy is the ability to understand and participate in the suffering of others.
What example should we follow to be empathetic?
Hebrews 4:
The Greek word for sympathize is sympatheo.
This word means to share in the suffering or emotion.
To be compassionate.
Though it is translated as sympathize it carries the weight of empathy and compassion.
Who are the weak and who are the strong?
(ex.
Elders are the strong, youth are the weak) The strong must bear the burdens of the weak).
Why do you think empathy is important in our relationships?
Ephesians 4:
It can change the way you speak to people.
It changes the way you act towards people (Luke 10:33-35)
What is the goal and result of empathetic relationships?
1 Cor 9:
Luke 10”
Hindrances to being empathetic
man’s law trumps God’s law
Selective (vs.
29)
Beliefs, Perspectives and Customs trumps Mercy (vs.
30-32)
The Levite or the priests most likely would have crossed to the other side because the man looked dead, and their perspective was if you touch a dead body you were considered to be unclean for seven days.
Jerusalem was the hub center for worship.
It’s where thee temple was.
So the fact that a man (most likely Jewish), a Levite and and priests was coming down from Jerusalem, it’s almost as if church was just let out.
And after church, the man got beat up, but the pastor or the deacon passed him over.
Numbers 9:11
Examples; Why is it important to be empathetic in our relationships?
Older vs. Younger Generation
You may focus more on “How you grew up, and spend less time understanding how they are growing up.”
Let’s say you said I remember when we didn’t have a choice to come to church.
Your parents made you come.
That’s good.
But you were made to come to church with two strong believing parents that both lived in the house.
But that child has two homes where he/she spends one weekend at moms and one weekend at dads because they are divorced.
Mom is a believer and desires for me to go to church, but she works a lot so she doesn’t have a lot of time to pour in her children.
Dad, on the other hand, is an atheist.
I didn’t make this up.
I just described to you the reality of one of our youth here at our church.
Argument with someone
You focus more on trying to get your point across than on seeking understanding.
Criticism
How many times have you criticized something before you understood the situation.
They didn’t say hi to me! Did you know that
Hat example.
