Then they went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.’ Jesus replied, ‘They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.’” When Jesus heard what had happened, He withdrew. Have you ever gotten really difficult news and just needed a minute alone? Jesus had been told by his closest friends that his cousin [John the Baptist]( had been killed. This was a rough day in the life of Christ. His family member, friend, and front runner had been beheaded in prison for his ministry. Although this did not come as a surprise to Jesus, He knew this day would come, what we read here reveals to us a lot about Christ’s heart and His perfect deity and humanity. We see such authentic humanity in Jesus mourning his cousin. He stopped what he was doing and began to go to a place of solitude to grieve this loss. As he got onto a boat, he landed at the shoreline, only to find a large crowd. What would the King of Heaven do? He just lost a loved one, but the people in front of Him needed Him greatly. This is where we see His perfect deity.  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [10 Things Christians Need to Tell Their Teens about Sex](  Rhonda Stoppe The task of taking your teen from looking for ways to go as far as they can with the person to whom they're attracted, to helping them understand the value of sexual purity, is not for the faint of heart.  [CONTINUE READING →](       [How Should Christians Respond to Changing Seasons?](  Vivian Bricker No matter what difficult season you are going through right now, know that God is with you.
