Someone called our Lord ,'the bread providing Master', I suppose He could be seen as that ,after all He performed two wonderful miracles, the first was the feeding of the 5,000, (plus ) in John 6 and Mark 6, the next one ,the feeding of the 4,ooo, ( Plus) in Matthew 15, and Mark 8.Jesus was very popular, crowds numbering in their thousands followed Him, on both occasions they had nothing to eat, and Jesus responded to their needs, He fed them. In the second one, we have Jesus saying , '' I have compassion on the multitude'', that compassion led Him to feed them. We read in a number of places of Jesus being compassionate in Matt 9 v36 ;14 v14; 15v 32; 18 v27; 20 v34 ; Mark 1 v 41; 6 v34 ; 8 v2;9 v22; Luke 7 v 13; 10 v33; 15 v 20;. Compassion is not just crocodile tears, it should have desire to help, to lift up the fallen, to give to the needy. to comfort the sorrowing, to visit the lonely ,Jesus did, and He says to all of us follow Me.
