"There is none like Christ for pity to souls; His compassions fails not. 3. He did not only pity them, but he helped them; many of them were sick, and he, in compassion to them, healed them; for he came into the world to be the great Healer. After awhile, they were all hungry, and he, in compassion to them, fed them. Note, In all the favours Christ shows to us, he is moved with compassion.
So generous was his soul, that he gave all he had for the help of those that had not. The fox had its hole, and the bird its nest, but he had no dwelling-place. Stripped even of his garments, he hung upon the cross to die. He steps in, he takes upon himself the uplifted lash, and his shoulders run with gore; he bares his bosom to the furbished sword, and it smites the Shepherd that the sheep may escape.".
Spurgeon
There is nothing that identifies a man more; a brother is marked by behavior that reflects his Master. When we've got nothing left and the call of duty comes, there is no time for rest; it's time to pray, bless God and move out with empty purses, worn shoes and the clothes on backs, just one more time.This is the place of miracles.
