Moved with Compassion

Scripture Reading: Mark 6:30-34
Focus Verse: Mark 6:34 "And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things."

The word Christian means follower or slave of Christ.  Some have said that the word means "Little Christ".  This must be because we, as Christians are to be like Christ.  Today's reading gives us a hint at the compassion that Jesus had.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can have that same compassion.

If we see people like Jesus does, we see that there are many people without a someone to disciple them.  Bobby & Page are working to disciple many people in Kenya through visits, literature, and this devotion.  Maybe you are seeing that there is someone or a group of people that you can disciple where you live.  All you have to do, is to teach them what you already know.  You don't have to know all the answers.  It is ok to say that you don't know some things.  We are all still learning. If the task seems too large, you can ask others to help.  God will provide.

If God is leading you to disciple someone or a group of people, then you should begin to obey that today.  If you don't know or care about it, then maybe you need to pray that God will move you with compassion for others.

Teach them many things.
