Jesus: "I have compassion on these people." (Sermon, August 25, 2024)
Manage episode 436370167 series 2801410
Just a couple of weeks ago we heard about a miracle Jesus did after He spent a long day teaching a crowd of 5000 people, when He fed them with five pita breads and a couple of fish. In this morning’s Gospel lesson we’ll hear about another miracle a lot like that one – this time, He feeds a crowd of 4000 people after He’s spent three days teaching them and working other miracles.
This summer most of the Gospel lessons are in the Gospel according to Saint Mark. These readings talk about Jesus’ teachings, His miracles, and His action-packed ministry. But each of the readings also has a “takeaway” from Jesus Himself! We’re focusing on these “red-letter” verses this summer. Here’s this week’s, from Mark chapter 8, verse 2: “I have compassion for these people.”

In January 2017 Pastor Cahill gave a presentation at a conference at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, that was titled “More than a Metaphor: The Physiology of Empathy.” The presentation was based on the word that Jesus used for compassion in Mark 8:2 and elsewhere in the Gospels, “Σπλαγχνίζομαι”.
