Small thing
I want to talk about ear wax. What the
heck is Zac doing starting a Bible study blog with such a weird statement? I’ll
get to that in a little bit. So, Friday night I was outdoors talking to
my coworkers and not a whole lot of people know this but my wife and I both
wear hearing aids. Well as a person with hearing aids you tend to become
a bit of a small-time mechanic as you learn to care for them. See as my
friends or coworkers talked, I noticed I had less and less hearing in my left
ear. It was a small thing. Simply put ear wax was clogging my
hearing aid. Your ears will fight you. There’s a reason I bring up
a small thing like this you’re about to see. I’m about to show you a
passage that preachers have gone over many times at least in my hearing but I
want to show you one specific word it’s a small thing, but it is actually huge.
Matthew 9:35-36
“Jesus travelled through all the towns and
villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the good news
about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
When he saw the crowds, he had Compassion on them because they were
confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
“Everyone needs compassion
A love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior”
When you’re lost, confused or helpless you
need compassion. That’s the small word that’s huge. Jesus is a
great physician, and he has the perfect bedside manner.
It’s a small thing but we need compassion, and
we need to show it to others. I’m not always good at showing it.
You can’t exactly hear about compassion when ear wax clogs your ears.
Clean em out and learn something about a small word. Yes, I’m
ending this with a minor joke to make you think.
