Freedom River Church - Feeding the 5000

I believe that all of us are aware that pain is part of the process of moving forward in life; so, how did Jesus handle pain? Well, interestingly, when Jesus heard of John the Baptist's death, He took the disciples and withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place. However, by the time they arrived, the crowd had followed them, and Jesus was deluged again with needy sheep in search of a shepherd. Jesus, through great personal pain, grief, and loss has such empathy for their need that He reaches out and ministers to them.
