Compassion is a deeply emotional word used to convey the strong bond between a parent and their child. In this video, we look at this rich Hebrew word, the first one God uses to describe himself in Exodus 34:6-7. God is portrayed as a compassionate parent throughout Scripture-both as a mother and a father, and his compassion is embodied in the person of Jesus.
Bible Summary
Today, our reading comes from Exodus 35-40 as the Israelites begin construction on the Tabernacle with God’s specific instructions, and God fills his new dwelling place with his glory.

One Response
The video was so enlightening today as it talked about how compassionate God is. Having it placed as motherly compassion and care with the protection piece is so loving! I need to keep this at the forefront of my mind more whenever I’m having a hard time and don’t feel seen or loved.
