#Repost @readwithpurpose with @get_repost ・・・ What jumped out at me in Matthew chapter 9 was how Jesus had compassion for the crowd of people. "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." The people lacked a good shepherd who loved their sheep, called them by name, protected them from wolves, led them to pasture, and rescued those who strayed. They longed for that shepherd and Jesus said the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. I find that people are many times receptive to Jesus but just need someone to help guide them and encourage them. Lord, give me the compassion to see people as you see them and to encourage and point others to you. Thank your for being our good shepherd who protects, leads, loves, rescues and calls us by name. . I would love to hear your comments on Matthew chapter !
