Gifts of
Compassion
9When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham
built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and
laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10Then
Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven,
and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
12He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do
anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld
your son, your only son, from me." 13And Abraham
looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took
the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his
son.

Compassion is the
basis of morality.

Schopenhauer
The purpose of the
journey is compassion.
When you have come
past all the pairs of opposites
you have reached
compassion.

40"Whoever welcomes
you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
41Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet
will receive a prophet's reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the
name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous;
42and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to
one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none
of these will lose their reward."
