Introduction: Living In A World In Desperate Need Of Compassionate Disciples
Illustration: “How Much A Dollar Cost?” by Kendrick Lamar off of “To Pimp A Butterfly” album in 2015
Transition: Our God of Compassion & Comfort
As a time of reflection, contemplation, and consideration of how we ought to serve our compassionate God
Jesus provides total fulfillment (satisfaction)
The LORD, our God, calls his spokespersons to comfort
Isaiah 40:10
Our LORD Jesus Christ calls us to provide comfort to others- a comfort that is the same that our God and Father has provided us
Matthew 5
Body Of Sermon- Why is Jesus The Good Shepherd?
Illustrate: Food is a common need of all of humanity
And today’s scripture providing a practical illustration of the physical and spiritual need of all of humanity
John 10:
Comprehends The Demands Of Ministry
Jesus knows that serving God’s people can be demanding, difficult, and dangerous at times
(Not only is Jesus the Good Shepherd to those who seek him, he is also the Good Shepherd of His undershepherds)
From Just Followers
To Followers who went out
Mark
Commands His Followers To Rest
(in desolate places with Him)
they have down something to rest about, they were called Disciples in 1:17, now they are called Apostles because they have gone out
Jesus Is The Good Shepherd
Compassion
Shepherd
Rest- Jesus cares for the welfare of his undershepherds
Cares For The Lost Sheep
Hosea 4:6-8
Jeremiah
Jeremeiah 50:6
Challenges His Followers To Care (For The Lost Sheep)
The Disciples See The Problem
But The Disciples Do Not See The Solution right in their midst
What do you have?
Go and see!
Be faithful and Jesus will provide!
Caters Abundant Living
Illustrate: Using a caterer for an event such as our wedding
The Disciples See The Problem
But The Disciples Do Not See The Solution
abundant = pertaining to a quantity so abundant as to be considerably more than what one would expect or anticipate- that which is more than, more than enough, beyond the norm, abundantly, superfluous
John
Transition- Pointing back to Moses
with a view towards the LORD feeding the Children of Israel an abundance of manna in the wilderness
Conclusion- Our Compassionate Heavenly Father
Illustration: William Booth could not sleep one evening, so he went for a walk in the night.
He walked down to the poor side of London and there, in the cover of darkness, saw the impoverished and beaten half-lives that existed in that setting.
The rain was beating down on some of London’s derelicts who were sleeping near the curbsides.
When Booth returned home, he told his wife, “I’ve been to hell.”
Ot of that nightmarish experience came the dream of the Salvation Army.
Had Booth not left the security of his home, he might never have become aware of the needs of the homeless masses.
We have a compassionate heavenly Father who casts out none who come to Jesus
Illustration: Ann Clare Boothe Luce (March 10, 1903[1][2] – October 9, 1987) was an American author, politician, U.S. Ambassador and public conservative figure.
She was the first American woman appointed to a major ambassadorial post abroad.
A versatile author, she is best known for her 1936 hit play The Women, which had an all-female cast.
Her writings extended from drama and screen scenarios to fiction, journalism and war reportage.
She was the wife of Henry Luce, publisher of Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated.
But of all that Clare Boothe Luce did or achieved in life, what left the most indelible mark on her life was when she, at the age of seventy-five years old, was asked, “Do yo have any regrets?”
she answered: “Yes, I should have been a better person.
Kinder.
More tolerant.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and I remember a girlhood friend of mine who had a brain tumor and called me three times to come and see her.
I was always too busy, and when she died, I was profoundly ashamed.
I still remember that after fifty-six years.”
But The Disciples Do Not See The Solution
Jesus calls his disciples to show compassion
Because, Jesus, who is God, shows compassion
And Communion (The LORD’s Supper)
can also be a time of reflection
contemplation,
and consideration
of how we ought to serve our compassionate God
Because Jesus provides total fulfillment (satisfaction)
Can I get a witness!
Jesus Is The Bread Of Life
When we read this message again, but in the Gospel according to John account
John 6:
We may have the honor, privilege, and blessing of serving the bread (manna) just like Moses,
but it is our Father who is in heaven, who gives you the true bread from heaven
Therefore, every chance we get,
Every First Sunday Sitting Down to Share Together in the LORD’s Supper
Celebrating the LORD’s supper every Sunday
we who believe in Jesus Christ,
ought to thank our heavenly father
Do not forget that it was Jesus who:
Comprehends
Commands
Cares
Challenges
Caters
who provided the bread of God who is Jesus who came down from heaven and gives life to the world
John 6:31-
Manna- is used in the OT for the miraculous food by which the Israelites were fed during the wilderness journey
The
Post-lude: Reliving the feeding narrative every first Sunday
Mark 6:41
2 Corinthians 5
Now I am preaching to myself!
I’ve preached myself happy!
I know I ought to sit down!
