The Character of Jesus - PEOPLE-MINDED

Read Mark 1:40-45.

"And moved with compassion, He stretched out His hand, and touched him, and said to him, 'I am willing; be cleansed.'" (v. 41)

Jesus was interrupted during His busy schedule, but too time for this man with a great need. He put this individual before His public ministry.
I want to always take time for the individual over and above the ministry--or my "to do" list. I want to put my family before work/ministry/support or anything. My time is where my treasure is.
