WHEN Pharaoh’s daughter saw the fair child, Moses, weeping, she had compassion upon him, and manifested her love in the kindly interest she took in him, and the loving care she exercised on his behalf. The word “compassion” is the same that occurs in Malachi, where it speaks of God sparing those who feared His name: “I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him” (Mal. 3:17). The same term is used in speaking of God’s gracious action in His forbearance towards Israel, when He is said to have “had compassion on His people” (2 Chron. 36:15). In Joel 2:18, the word is translated “pity,” and is so given again and again. As Pharaoh’s daughter pitied Moses, so the Lord has graciously had compassion upon us, for “God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).
This fact may be further illustrated by the several instances where Christ is said to have had compassion upon people.
The One who had compassion upon the people when on earth, is the same One with Whom we have to do.
