"The Compassion of Christ" {Matt14:14-21}
* Compassion not just feeling sorry for another; compassion moves spirit to action
* Unexpected burden
- Disciples alone with Christ dealing with news of JtheB's death (v13)
- Disciples not necessarily being mean or heartless when desirous of sending away masses -- was the best solution from human standpoint
* Christ's response
- Do not send them away (compassion)
- "You feed them" (v16) (compassion moved to action)
- Disciples begin to trust God
* The missed message {Mark6:51-52}
- "The Lord knows our loaves & fishes."
- Lord doesn't call us to solve everything -- only to give our everything
- The Lord can work great things through our little things
- Never underestimate the Lord's power despite our weakness
* Pray for the servants of the Lord
