The Character of Jesus - SELFLESS SERVICE

Read Mark 6:33-34.

"And when He went ashore, He saw a great multitude, and He felt compassion for them..." (v. 34)

Jesus was trying to take His disciples away for some rest and private teaching. But the crowds followed Him. He had compassion on them even though He was very tired. This was an inconvenient time for ministry, yet He served them.
I need to slow down and see the ministry around me. What needs are going unmet because I am working hard and selfishly? Open my eyes; slow my pace.
