What I would like to bring to our attention in this text is how Jesus looks to 1) Provide Rest 2) Provide Teaching for those seeking him and 3) Provided nourishment for them in the wilderness until they were all satisfied.

Jesus shows us that loving our neighbor is to be compassionate to all we meet no matter race, ethnicity, poor or rich. We are to have love for our neighbor as we love God.

God's compassion is shown to us who are in need of forgiveness, love and mercy. God's compassion comes to us even when we hurt him and are guilty of sin.

Old me is gone. The new me is alive in Christ and living to please him.

Died with Christ means to be alive to have life with him. The life one now lives reflects the characteristics of Christ and his teachings. This will lead one to draw closer to the Lord to better know his grace and the joy of salvation. This desire will then see the futility of the dead world and its fleeting presentation. What Jesus has to for his followers is eternal and joyous. The issue one has with death is that it is a permanent ending of something. Since we died with Christ we should rejoice to see that death and sin have been permanently defeated by Jesus on the Cross when he became our sin offering in taking on our sins. So this grace work that was done for us should now change how we live. We should now live in fellowship and relationship with Jesus and the church. Not living through routines and practices but seeing that Christ is what makes up our religion and not being mislead by world and ones own worldly thoughts. We must see God’s grace and come to know its work in our life through Jesus. Living for Christ is to die to this world and live by grace and no longer by the Law.

The fullness of Christ can be experienced by following him and living in him by trusting in his word and living out his word.
