Mark 6:34
As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
He had compassion on them
Compassion for the lost who yearned for a shepherd
One who would lead them in love
One who would care for them
not because of what they could give in return
but because they merited care and compassion
He had compassion on them
and began to teach them many things
not so that they would be beholden to him
but so that they would be equipped to resource themselves
through the wisdom that he shared
Wisdom and compassion
Gifts that continued to make a difference
long after their hunger had been fed
long after they had left the lakeside
and returned to their homes and their communities
Wisdom and compassion
Gifts we receive for sharing
