Bible: Mark 6:35-44 Title: Miracle of the Five Potatoes
Thousands of people were listening to Jesus. No matter how sweet the words were, people listened to them without knowing the passage of time and were moved and wept and repented, those who beat their breasts and wept, those who beat their hearts while repenting of their wrong lives, those who had hope, and those who had joy. The scene was filled with images of
At this time, the disciples told Jesus that it would be good to have people go to the village to eat and then come and listen to the word because the present time is ending and it is time for people to eat.
Jesus said to his disciples, “You give them something to eat.”
The disciples answered, ‘Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred denarii (10 million won) and feed it?’
Jesus said, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
The disciples recognized and said, “There are five loaves and two fish.”
Jesus said, ‘Make an Ep for all of them, and let them sit on the green grass’.
People sat down by 100 or 50 each.
Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, and gave thanks, and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. , there were 5,000 men who ate the rice cake.
The miracle that Jesus accomplished was that with five loaves and two fish, 5,000 men ate their fill, leaving twelve baskets left.
Let's do the math. How could five loaves and two fish feed 5,000 men and twelve baskets?
Nonsense is also oily! Is this possible? It's nonsense. But it is true. Hallelujah!
Jesus does things we understand, but sometimes He does things we don't understand.
Why does Jesus do such incomprehensible things? If you do something that makes sense, you will be able to believe it better.
It is to enable us to have faith.
Even in today's sermon, Jesus told people about heaven. And he showed me a miracle in heaven.
So he made it possible for people to have faith.
Why?
Because trust is important. trust is precious Because without faith it is impossible to please God, so he did something incomprehensible to get people to have faith.
So what kind of people should we be?
You must be a person of faith.
what kind of belief Faith in Jesus Christ!
You must be a good believer in Jesus. Say hello to the people next to you.
Let's believe in Jesus. Amen

In Genesis 12, Abraham appears, and he received so many blessings that it became a source of blessings. Abraham did many good things for God, and the best thing he did was that he built an altar to the Lord wherever he went. That was the characteristic of Abraham.
To build an altar to the Lord means to worship.
The reason why the Israelites, who were living as slaves in Egypt, were brought out through Moses and led to Canaan so that the people could worship God (Exodus 3:18).
Looking at these words, you can understand the reason that made you believe in Jesus, and that is to become a person who worships God.
What happens when you worship well?
Becoming a believer in Jesus.
If you worship well, God will bless you.
Solomon was also blessed because he worshiped a thousand burnt offerings.
Daniel also worshiped God with his will, so he came out of the lions' den and received the blessing of becoming the prime minister in the kingdom of Babylon.
John Wannamaker, who was the king of department stores in the United States, also believed in Jesus because he worshiped well. As a result, he lived as an American postal minister, department store king, and a respected figure in society. It was.
John Wanamaker did a good job of making sure that not only he was a believer in Jesus, but that others also believed in him.
There is a famous story of him. When the president asked him for the post of Minister of Posts in the country, he offered me the conditions and said I would accept it if he taught me Sunday school children at church and had him not go to work on Sundays so that he could worship God without missing a week. , while serving as a minister, he never missed a Sunday, attended church and worshiped with children for the rest of his life, believing in Jesus.
What a beautiful and blessed life this is.
When a person believes in Jesus, he is living the best life.
For people to believe in Jesus and worship God is a moving thing, something to be thankful for, and an event of unbearable joy.

I can't tell you how great a blessing it is to believe well in Jesus.
To believe in Jesus well is to worship God.
Jesus performed miracles so that people could have faith.
Realize the consideration of Jesus who made it possible to have faith even by performing miracles.
Today, in order for us to become people of faith, he made us come to the chapel, sing hymns and pray, and listen to the Word.
This is a great blessing.
What a blessing it is to not live in the catacombs, to live in fear of death, and to be able to worship so freely.
There should be no such thing, but what if we or our next generation meet with the field of life such as the persecution of the early church, the persecution of war like the 6th and 25th, or the persecution of the Japanese colonial period?
It's a life I don't even want to think about. Therefore, in today's life, we must trust Jesus well. It is good worship.
If you succeed in worship, you can succeed in everything.
Cain's life failed because he failed in worship. However, Abel succeeded in worship.
Esau's life was a failure because he failed in worship. However, Jacob succeeded in his life because he succeeded in worship.
In today's text, people also experienced the miracle of the Five Byeongs and received the blessing of believing in Jesus through successful worship.
I believe that these words today are the words that save your faith. So, I hope that you will become those who believe in Jesus well, become successful worshipers and enjoy the blessings you have received.
Jesus said through the Apostle John,
“The hour is coming and is now, when those who truly worship the Father will worship in spirit and truth, for the Father is looking for such worshipers of Him” (John 4:23).
I pray that you will be praised and rewarded for believing in Jesus by worshiping God well in 2007.
