Jesus's compassion led Him not only to meet but surpass the needs of others. When the Israelites were hungry in the wilderness, God provided manna from heaven. Jesus is the greater Moses, the One who not only provides bread from heaven but who also speaks of Himself as the Bread who gives life to the world. Because God has met our greatest need in salvation through Christ, we seek to meet the needs of others -physical, emotional, and spiritual -through Jesus.
