In staff devotions this morning we read from Matthew 14:13-14. Matthew recalls an event where Jesus showed compassion to the crowds that were following Him from place to place. What strikes me about this verse, is that Jesus had retreated to grieve because his beloved cousin, John the Baptist, had just been beheaded. When he tried to get away to grieve, the crowds followed Him. Instead of getting annoyed or frustrated with the people, who were in so much need, the Bible says “He had compassion”.
May we learn from Christ’s example.
When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. ~Matthew 14:13-14
Have a wonderful weekend!
