BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.2 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA.

Mark 6:31-34
" And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.  And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.  And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things."


The perspective / view a person has about people around them will determine their level of compassion towards them. Christ  Jesus did not see an impressive crowd when the multitude came to Him, He saw a crowd who were lacking spiritual leadership and guidance.

When Jesus described people as "sheep without a shepherd," He was expressing compassion and concern for the crowds who had gathered to hear Him speak. This expression reveals that the people were lost, vulnerable, and in need of guidance and care; because sheep need a shepherd to lead and protect them.

So, Christ Jesus spoke of the spiritual guidance and leadership that the people were lacking. The crowd sought a loving and wise figure to provide direction and comfort to their lives. The scripture also reveals Jesus as the Good Shepherd who offers guidance, protection, and salvation to all who follow Him (Psalms 23, John 10:11).

This study emphasizes the important connection between our perspective as believers, our hearts, and our ability to show compassion. We understand that, the way we see others directly influences our attitudes and feelings toward them.

As believers in Christ, If we view people through a lens of judgment, negativity, or prejudice, our hearts may become closed off and lacking in compassion. However, if we strive to see others as God sees them, with understanding, love, and forgiveness, our hearts will be filled with compassion.

Furthermore, this Bible Study brings to light the need to align our vision with God's perspective as it is key to developing true compassion. When we see others through the eyes of God, we begin to see their value, worth, and inherent dignity as God's creation and not trees that can be felled. This shift in perspective allows us to understand and empathize with others, leading to genuine compassion that flows from the heart.

Listen to this study that conveys that by adopting God's perspective in our interactions with others, compassion becomes a natural and inevitable outcome of our regenerated & renewed vision.
