Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
(Psalm 103:13)And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
(Mark 6:34) The Lord will never be too busy to attend to our need
Jesus calls his disciples to rest, but a multitude in need of ministry interrupts their plans. Jesus shows compassion and mercy towards the crowd, revealing his character as one that takes pity on our needs and condition. As believers, we should also be people of compassion, treating others with great mercy and grace. Our churches should be places of refuge and healing, dealing with people in their brokenness and imperfections with the same mercy with which Christ treated the multitude. Let us be people of mercy and grace, following the example of Jesus.
