Title: Give Me Something to Eat
Contents
sheep without a shepherd
After Jesus had preached the gospel, he was tired and went to the field of Bethsaida to rest, but there were also many people there. As they met and listened to Jesus, they were moved by the words they had never heard before and fell into Jesus' sermon without even thinking about eating.
Looking at the people who were so focused on the Word to the point where they even lost their hunger for the Word, Jesus felt compassion. If Jesus sent them back without any food, it seemed that they would collapse from exhaustion.
Jesus prepared a miracle of five bottles for people like sheep without a shepherd.
Disciples who do not know the power of the Lord
The longer the sermon to 5,000 people, like sheep without a shepherd, the better the crowd, but the disciples become a burden, not a grace. The disciples were puzzled when Jesus said, Do you have anything to eat? It was an empty place, so it was impossible to find food, and even if they bought food, they did not have 200 denarii, and when the sun went down, the bakery was also closed. it was
Why did you think this way? This is because they followed Jesus up until now, but did not acknowledge the power of Jesus. Jesus can feed 5,000 people with 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. However, there are some people who do not understand Obyeongyi as the power of God, but interpret it as a human being. It is said that when Jesus prayed after accepting the five bowls offered by the young boy, the people who brought their own lunches were remorseful and shared with each other, and the remaining 12 baskets of engraving machines became. That's a very reasonable interpretation. But do we need to believe in the Lord who cannot even feed 5,000 people with 5 barley loaves and 2 fish?
The Lord has the power to walk on water, to raise the dead, and to divide the Red Sea. It must be remembered that that power feeds many people and animals that inhabit this earth today.
How many loaves do you have? Go and see.
To the disciples who gave up because they did not have 200 denarii, Jesus told you to find out what you have. We give up thinking that two fish and five loaves will do nothing at all, but Jesus solves the problem with two fish and five loaves. The problem is that we have to give what we have so the Lord can use it. If we get hold of the Lord, we will change what we lack.
Jesus took 2 fish and 5 barley loaves, gave thanks and gave them to his disciples to share. The disciples shared what they had, but what they had did not diminish. What was left was the disciples' hands moving quickly and distributing them. Blessed is the one who gives.
There are two kinds of people in this world. There are people who feed on 5,000 people by themselves, and there are people who feed 5,000 people by themselves. A person who lives alone on 5,000 servings is said to be a successful person. But the person who feeds 5,000 people alone is a really good person and a good person. In order to feed the 5,000, what the disciples have to do is quickly divide and distribute their own.
Before the miracle of the Lord, people were worried because they had nothing to eat, but after the miracle, it is recorded that only 12 light bulbs were left and collected. Even in our lives, those who do not know miracles are worried, but those who believe in the Lord have no worries. This is the site of the Lord's miracle work.
