You Feed Them

In Scripture, only two miracles are recorded in all four of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. One miracle is Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, and the other miracle is Jesus feeding the five thousand men (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15). This week, we conclude the story Mark began in 6:7–13, in which Jesus sent the Twelve out to minister in Galilee two by two. He had delegated to them the tasks of preaching, healing, and casting out demons—in imitation of His own ministry—and granted them His divine authority to carry out their mission.

So Jesus took the men on a retreat. From now on, until His ascension, Jesus will devote less time to the crowds and concentrate more time on His Apostles. They are scheduling some intensive training time, and Jesus needs to start their preparation for His crucifixion. However, the crowds follow Jesus and do not allow Him and the apostles to go on a retreat. This is how the feeding of the 5000 men came about. Let's look at the lessons we learn from this incredible miracle. Thank you for joining us at Cross Waves Church.

While in the cab, he noticed that the driver was missing a turn at an intersection...
