The Jesus way

Matthew 20:29-34

1. Why did Jesus serve others and meet their needs?

As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.

"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."

Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Mark 8:1-10

2. How did this compare with the reaction of others nearby?

Jesus have compassion for these people who were following Him and that they have already been with Him three days and have nothing to eat. Thus as Jesus feeds the four thousand miraculously from little food, every ate and was satisfied.
