South African pastor Trevor Hudson identifies
compassionate caring as the distinguishing mark of faithful discipleship:
“Compassionate caring creatively balances the inward-outward dynamic so
characteristic of Jesus’ life, saves us from falling prey to the latest fad in
the spiritual supermarket, and catapults our lives into a deeper engagement
with the brokenness of our world.” Hudson
goes on to claim that making a pilgrimage with those who suffer is one
practical way to cultivate the “grace-soaked” gift of compassion in our
lives.
