Appropriately at the beginning of Advent, we have a picture of our compassionate, hands-on Jesus healing all who were brought to him and feeding the crowd with seven loaves and a few fish. (Mt 15:29-37). Jesus was moved inwardly, that same groaning of spirit that he experienced at the tomb of Lazarus, his friend. This picture of Jesus is comforting to us, who also come to Jesus in need of healing and hungering for food and drink. As we step back during this season to reflect on the promise of salvation, the coming of Jesus, we ready our souls to receive the healing and nourishment that Jesus alone can give. Look at Jesus in action during this scene and know that that same concern and compassion is there for us. He knows what we need and will take care of us, even when the odds are against us.
