he stands before them, (That
is if lie is really concerned for
their S-piritual welfare.)
In the Gospel of St. 'Mat-
thew, 9,. verse 36, we- read, -
"Wlien • Jesus saw , the
multitudes He was ; moved:
with compassion -on them,"
Why? "Because they fainted,
and were scattered abroad,
as sheep having ° no
shepherd."
This is exactly how Christ
sees the World of today. Jesus
does not rebuke or blame; but
He is deeply concerned.
And what is it about the
many people who are without
• Chris -t• that should move us
deeply and make us con-
cerned about their eternal
Salvati•
on?
Jesus saw the multitudes,
He saw the crowd, but it was
not simply what He saw, but
how He saw .the people,and
how different was His
reaction from what ours often
is. m
Jesus saw men and women
as souls needing to be saved.
Yet if the minister dares to
ask people tocome forward
and accept Christ as Lord • and
P
Saviour, in many cases he is
in deep trouble.
But the•Christiari, be he or
she Minister' or teacher or
parents must ,see people as
Jesus saw °thm,• people in
need ofa Shepherd. Jesus had
compassion because people
fainted,' they were miserable,
distressed. And there are
many today._in this condition.
They do not know Jesus as.
their Friend and Saviour, and
perhaps will not, unless .you
and,,I Take thisknown to
them:,. ,
But we'cannot go to them.
As St. Paul says, "I give you/
what ' I :'first received." We
must.. first ; receive Christ,

It is easy ta. say,. when we
read our Paperood How terrible
things are . getting." The
violence.; ,the breakdown':of
morality. But 'are we con- •
cerned for those who. are
engulfed in these evil :things
and who have not discovered
the remedy for all these Ills
which we have. discovered
through:faith in Christ.` • "
The Devil seeks to destroy,
but the Lord Jesus came to
give abundant life. '..Deep
down in every:heart there is a
longing and desire for true
satisfaction which can only be
found in ..Jesus Christ. He
alone -can introduce us to His
Father. John 14:8-11.
We read in verse 36 of
Matthew 9 "the people were
scattered abroad, as. sheep
having no shepherd". It
means to be lost, as the one
lost sheep of which we read in
Luke 15-4. But notice in this
parable, the Shepherd went
after the lost sheep, until He
found it.Are we concerned for our
friends and loved ones. Our
workmates? Our neighbours?
