His Heart Went Out

We find here after the Lord had healed and performed these miracles, people were amazed. And they began to follow the Lord as He traveled from village to village, even as we were reminded here: great multitudes of people followed Him.

The Lord took the opportunity now, after He had told them to repent, to preach to them.

I just couldn't help but read farther in this Holy Bible as we read this chapter. I hadn't intended to, but I became interested and concerned.

Here the Lord looked out and saw the multitudes. He looked out in pity, I believe. His heart went out, just as sometimes, brethren, we stand and look over an audience of our young people, the youth of our day and time, who are growing up to young men and women.

Isn't it true ... how many times our hearts bleed, how many times tears fill our eyes when we can see the multitude, realizing that they do not have a hope of life eternal. They are standing on the outside of the door of grace and our hearts go out just as the Lord when He saw the multitude here.
