Compassion Check Up

There may be no other statement by any human being that expresses any greater compassion for people than that of the apostle Paul in Romans 9:1-4 He says and I quote...
"I speak the truth in Christ I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit. I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people...."

Can you imagine the gravity of that statement?  Willing to give up your relationship with God and all the heavenly benefits so that someone else could have your eternal benefit plan and you would go to hell in their place.  What great compassion!
