After the murder of John the Baptist, Jesus is tired and grieving and seeks out a bit of time to pray and be alone. However, there are those who need him, so Jesus being Jesus, he reaches out in compassion and love to minister to those around him. Jesus is the epitome of self-sacrifice-as we see it this day, and as we see it in it’s most clear form with his death on the cross for you and me.
