36 When He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ~ Matthew 9:36
Jesus was preaching and teaching and healing the sick, but when he saw how many of them it was, His heart went out to them because of the harassing spirits and the helplessness of their situation. It is the same today. Not much has changed. People are still harassed. People are still sick. People are even more overwhelmed.
Jesus came to bring hope to the hopelessness, and that’s what we’ve gotta preach. The Hebrew writer said that they put up with all sorts of things because they had a better hope. What better hope than the hope that Jesus offers.
-
- The hope of eternal life
- The hope of no more suffering
- The hope of no more persecution
- The hope of no more hardships
- The hope of reuniting with past loved ones
When Jesus comes, it’ll be a time of blissfulness with no more worries. No more hopelessness. A time of rejoicing and reunions with loved ones and friends that have gone on before. It will be a time of great celebration because God will put all things once and for all under the feet of Jesus.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Preach Hope.
