Luke 9:10-12; Proverbs 4:23; Romans 8:29; 1 John 2:6
– Jesus looked beyond His own needs and met the needs of the people. The disciples did the opposite.
– The disciples did not think of helping the people and did not even have the thought of asking Jesus.
– What action did we take in response to the need? Who did we do it for?
– We’re not talking about the head, we’re talking about the heart.
– We’re talking about actions, and not intentions.
– Don’t stop at the intention.
– We can help those in need, our loved ones and strangers.
– Undivided attention. Full attention on the task at hand.
– Multi-tasking is divided attention.
– If we are going to get to a place of compassion, we need to have undivided attention.
– The disciples walked with Jesus, yet still weren’t walking like Him. We can do the same thing if our attention is divided.
– If we say we abide in Christ, then we need to walk like Him.
