Mark 6:30-44 ”Compassion-Driven Ministry”

After sending the disciples out on a short-term mission trip, they return to share their results.  Jesus has compassion on them and invites them to come apart for a while to replenish and renew their bodies and spirits. Before they reach their destination, a crowd of thousands of people await them.  The apostles are ready to send away the crowds, but Jesus Christ has another solution in mind.  There are so many lessons to learn from the miracle of the loaves and fishes. Perhaps we should view our problems as "opportunities." We must always remember that God is able to meet every need according to His riches in glory!
