The Character of Jesus - SELF-SACRIFICING

[Sorry, this post should precede the one before.]

Read Mark 6:53-56.

“And wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and entreating Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.’” (v. 56)

Jesus was always more concerned with the comfort of others than He was for Himself. He needed to rest, but the needs of the people out-weighed His own needs.

I need to sacrifice myself for my family more. I am too busy. They each need individual attention. Lord, help me to sacrifice my needs for theirs!
