He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd

Mark 6:30-44

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[e]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Why?

Because many people come so Jesus and his disciples did not have a chance to eat, so they went to a quiet place to get some rest.

People has their problem and request so they still followed Jesus. And Jesus has compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So as many people now in my living place.

Jesus made a miracle that transformed Five loaves and two fishes to feed 5 thousand men. Jesus can do anything, for he is the son of the Lord.

Jesus had compassion on them, so we should have compassion on everyone around me like Jesus for they are like sheep without a shepherd.

5000人吃飽前：門徒去傳福音很有成果！門徒很興奮！耶穌卻沒有回應，暗暗的去曠野休息。有很好的成果要去休息，安靜下來面對神不要沉溺於成果中。

凡來找耶穌的，耶穌必不叫他們失望！不是先給他們吃飯而是先對他們講道，憐憫他們。門徒卻要他們散開自己買東西吃，門徒看見一群麻煩的人，耶穌看見一群迷失的羊沒有牧人。門徒提出質疑，需要20兩銀子(相當於8個月當時 工資）他們沒有辦法負擔。門徒認為於我無關。耶穌看我們有什麼?看我們就算有也沒有用！神問摩西有什麼?牧羊人的杖，神可以做有的發揮無限的影響力。還有一個重點：門徒要去傳遞超過的功效！神要使用我們的手去傳遞，愈分享悠多。每次分出去，都是冒險，要有信心，也是神蹟！彼得要跨出一步才能在水面上行走。以利亞的寡婦要先給以利亞呢吃，這是要冒險的。1)神的供應，不會剛剛好，分到最後一個人就沒有了，而且有餘，門徒不用為自己留一些。2)收集零碎是神給的小神蹟，每次的神蹟小外的，疊積起來很多。3)屬靈的原則是愈分享，愈多。不分享只有五餅二魚，分享出去更多。
