Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are never really told very much about Jesus taking breaks from his work. I'm sure he slept or sat down for a few minutes now and then, but based on today's passage, it looks like Jesus stayed as busy as humanly possible. And thank God for that. Jesus never quit working. He was always healing people, he was always preaching the good news. Why? Why did Jesus spend all this time doing the work he needed to do without stopping very much? Because Jesus was compassionate. Jesus cared about people, and he still cares about us. If someone needed healing Jesus healed them; because he cared. If someone needed some good news in their life Jesus gave them the good news of the gospel; because he cared. Part of Jesus' business revolved around the fact that he knew he only had so much time to do the work he was sent to do. But more than anything else, more than any other reason, Jesus kept healing and kept preaching the good news because he loves us. Jesus stayed busy because of his never ending love for us. Praise be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for loving us enough to send us his son, who also loves us. God bless,
Pastor Josh
