The Compassion of Jesus starts off with a vivid comparison of man in lofty thoughts and unable to be anything but distant the more intelligent. But, Jesus is able to reach even the lowest beggar with the greatest compassion and kindness. Jesus was alone high above men yet able to have full and tender compassion; he was a fountain of deep motherly pity.
When so many people stand afar off from so great a Lord, its no doubt that Satan has a hand in it. He is disputed as being God, as even existing, yet here he stands, yet, full of compassion for mankind. What a terrible thing this unbelief is when the Most High God came down to save man. How then will this rejection appear when He comes again to His own.
Would you feed your hungry child bread or a stone? This book is God giving you bread to satisfy the hunger for the righteousness that is within mankind, to be closer to Jesus. How much worse does the lack of repentance appear when man willfully turns from such love.
Jesus doesn't compare to man at all in the way he reaches to us first, such is His compassion, yet man hasn't seen it. They would lambaste him for not feeding the world while ignoring the outstretched hand, and biting the hand that feeds them. All the while he stands near you ready to enter; He won't force Himself in.
This righteousness is imputed to us as we're not righteous of ourselves. We are adopted as this righteousness is placed over us. We become equal to the inheritance from this covering. It's everything. Adolph Saphir was called "the Apollos of the Nineteenth Century". His collection of sermons and tracts published after the entire Jewish household became born-again believers.
His father was a most-learned Jewish man with the highest order of learning. This did nothing to promote him, himself but that of His savior. He states in "Adoption" we're not merely in a position of children we ARE His children. We are begotten again and are new creatures.
