Jesus the Compassionate King (Mark 6:30-44)

Jesus the Compassionate King (Mark 6:30-44)

Many of us bring our negative experiences with authority into our understanding of Jesus, expecting that he will be just like everyone else – acting in his own interest and leaving us in need. The story of Jesus feeding the 5000 challenges us to see Jesus differently and to see him as the compassionate king who provides for his people.
