36. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Thought of the day….
Compassion; today’s verse is talking about Jesus’ compassion because of their affliction. This makes me think of people all around the world and the hardship and persecution they are dealing with today. Many people go and help these people because of their compassion for them. Also in our own country, daily there are situations all around us that require helping the helpless. I’m sure in your communities there are homeless, hungry, fatherless, and in general, people in need. Compassion toward them and helping them is a reflection of Jesus.
Today I ask, are you helping the helpless in your communities?
