“He (Jesus) had compassion on them.” Matthew 14:14

The great automotive statesman Henry Ford was famous for saying, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”. The simplest translation to this quote is that life is lived between our ears. How we process in our mind the joy and sorrow and pain and excitement and stress in life largely determines our outlook, our relationships, and our success. Jesus knows exactly what we are going through, and not just because He is Devine and knows everything. It’s because Jesus walked among us as human to experience our massive array of emotions we live out on a daily basis. He’s more than qualified to understand what you are going through. That’s why Matthew 14:14 is so comforting.

Jesus Has Compassion In Supernatural Measure.

Don’t get caught up in the lie that God simply wound up the earth like a top, set it spinning, and then took his hands off and passively stands back and watches to see what happens. That thought could not be farther from the truth. He cared so much that He sent His son Jesus to walk among us, to demonstrate through miracles that He’s for us and not against us, and ultimately to pay for our sins that we would be restored in our relationship with God our Heavenly Father. If you were Jesus, you wouldn’t live out the hand He was dealt unless your compassion levels were truly off the charts. The most famous song in the world really does say it all. “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
