When Jesus’
mini-retreat with the disciples is interrupted by crowds clamoring for his
attention, Jesus responds with compassion (Mark 6:34). In fact, throughout Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is
continually interrupted by people’s needs. But Jesus never once grumbles,
whines, or complains about it. He always responds with compassion. Some people
think, ‘Jesus is too busy running the universe to be interrupted with my
“little” problem.’ But we can be sure that no matter how big or how small, no
matter if the problem is of our own making or of someone else, Jesus will
respond with compassion.
Yesterday’s message
was all about how Jesus responds to us when we’re in “desolate” places. If you
missed the sermon, you can catch it here.
