Jesus had compassion for the crowd.
Because they were harassed and helpless.
Let’s just say it out loud.
Sometimes we are hapless.

At his death Jesus had failed.
Despised and rejected.
So often we know we have failed.
And feel rejected.

But this was his lot.
He accepted his fate.
So what if it’s our lot.
Life, we know, does grate.

And soon we will die.
But with joy we await the open sky.

….

Despised, rejected
This too is our own sad fate
But we live again

….

See Matthew 9
