Matthew 9:35-36 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Jesus's life was others, always others. He travelled to village after village teaching, preaching, healing, and casting out demons while including an occasional miracle along the way. Even when the need seemed so constant and certainly for me would have been overwhelming, he maintained compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Although Jesus is always more interested in our spiritual health than our physical or emotional health he still shows compassion on his people for they are like sheep without a shepherd.
Have you seen this Jesus in your village? He is there, as well as in your home, church and other sub communities. Our faith is different because we have a savior who lives and who still travels from village to village and heart to heart living in us and around to be present not by laws but by relationship. He can be found in a sacred book but he is alive beyond the book. Have you seen him or met him? If you haven't my words may sound like folly, but if you have you know you have been blessed. You have become one of his priceless others. Will you help him to meet more that he is seeking to meet.
