The Feeding of the Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard this, He departed from there by boat for a deserted place. But when the people heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 Jesus went ashore and saw a great assembly. And He was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a lonely place and the day is now over. Send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to depart. You give them something to eat.”
17 They said to Him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to His disciples; and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 They all ate and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
The feeding of the five thousand is just one of the many miracle that Jesus performed while he walked the earth.
Believe it or not, Jesus is still performing miracles on today. He is sending forth His love throughout the earth is so many ways.
The food that Jesus offered back then and is still offering to dying men, women, boys and girls on today is still "LOVE".
Physical food fills us for a little while and then we are hungry again, but when we are filled with the "love" of Christ, the hunger for love is no longer craved, but shared.
The love of Christ towards humanity is seen in this feeding of the multitude. Scripture declares in Matthew 4:4-Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Love is the food they needed and the food we all need. This is what Jesus commands the Disciples to give to the multitude when he says to them, “you feed them.”
To the command of Jesus, the disciples served "love" that day to the multitude. Is this your desire? If you are, you are ripe for a miracle.
Continue to obey God's command in giving "love" for there is a miracle with your name on it!
God bless.
