A merciful and compassionate God

SUMMARY: The Lord calls the disciples for a vacation, but the plan is interrupted by a great crowd in need of ministry. The Lord's reaction shows his compassionate and merciful heart, which always takes pity on our needs and condition. We have a Father who knows that we are fragile and treats us accordingly. When we fail, let us remember that the Lord is merciful and compassionate, and confidently approach the throne of grace.

The Lord calls the disciples to go on vacation, find a place of retreat, and invites them to spend some time together resting. The Christian life has to be a balanced life. Not everything is simply serving, serving, working, working, and even in the secular world as well or at work, at home, housewives or whatever. We must take time to rest, relax, charge the batteries and then return to the charge with new strength.

That is an unavoidable law of life in general, and certainly also of Christian life and ministry. And we have to give each other opportunities to take those break times.
