Developing Christlike Characteristics

When Jesus fasted long ago

Alone, in the wilderness

His thoughts for John overcome His own

When news came of his sentence

Angel ministrants had come to Him

To comfort Him in His weakened state

But,  filled with compassion in His bosom

He knew John the Baptist's needs could not wait

Pondering the weakened state of Jesus after fasting forty days and nights and having been tempted of Satan.  I can not comprehend how He was still alive!

Jesus sent angels to minister to John the Baptist. (compare Matthew 4: 11)

  11 And now Jesus knew that John was cast into prison, and he sent angels, and, behold, they came and ministered unto him (John).
