THE RESISTLESS MAGNET
Mark 6:32-44
The crowds drew Jesus down from his Father’s house, into close touch with their sore need. Into keenest suffering and sacrifice for their sakes, they drew him. Men’s need tugged constantly at Jesus’ great heart. Whatever thing they needed he gave, and gave it freely, yet always thoughtfully. He came not to get but to give. And he still gives as men need. And so does the Jesus-man, as the Spirit guides. It’s a sure mark.
