Day 10 - Bethsaida

This tiny village on the shores of the Sea of Galilee is frequently mentioned in the gospels. It is in this town that Jesus feeds the 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish. Here we find Jesus yet again showing us His compassion towards those around Him. 

He saw a blind man in the city, led him outside the village, and healed him. Isaiah speaks of the coming Messiah would “provide sight to the blind” and “set free the captives” (Isaiah 35:5-6). 

In this small city forgotten by the world Jesus stooped down and showed His compassion. He fed the hungry and healed the sick. Jesus’s heart is for the broken and hungry.

Following Jesus's example, how can we look upon others with compassion?
