Jesus’ Heart Was Moved with Pity

Mark 6: 30-34

 

When Jesus “saw the vast crowd, [who] were like sheep without a shepherd,” “his heart was moved with pity for them.”

 

Mark’s description of Jesus’ response conveys the sense that it was heartbreaking or gut-wrenching [1] for Jesus seeing the people and their situation. 

 

So is Jesus when each of us and any one of God’s children suffer in anyway.   

 

And may we imitate Jesus’ compassionate heart when our brothers and sisters suffer.
