Mark 6:34

Believers are blessed in unmerited grace  by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! God’s love and compassion for us sets us  free.

Those in authority in our homes, in our Churches or  our government, who govern without compassion, negate the goodness and love of God.

To choose joy is to see all existence as a gift, which is why the practice of joy is inseparable from the practice of gratitude. Gratitude gives birth to joy because gratitude teaches us to receive life as a gift in the moment we’re in.’ It teaches us that our very existence is a gift.” Tish Harrison Warren

Mark 6:34

34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. The New King James Version

Sheep without a shepherd was a  common old testament expression used to describe Israel’s inadequate or oppressive leadership. Faithlife Study Bible

The Gospels record several times that when Jesus saw a need He was moved with compassion. That compassion led to action. The NKJV Study Bible

Let not ministers do any thing or teach any thing, but what they are willing should be told to their Lord. Christ notices the frights of some, and the toils of others of his disciples, and provides rest for those that are tired, and refuge for those that are terrified. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

1 Kings 22:17 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ ”

Luke 9:11 But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
