Dear Fellow Readers,
Last Sunday, the commissioner of the Salvation Army, spoken on these passage. The gist of this passage is very enlightening and meaning, if we learnt to show our concern for others.
The disciples were asked by Jesus to give them something to eat, as the day was well spent, and He noticed that the people must be hungry after listening to His teachings.
However, the disciples were quick to response, and said to Jesus, let just sent them away to go and get their own food.
Firstly, as they do not have enough resources or money to buy food for so many people.
Secondly, they were far away from town ( in the mountain ), and the best thing to them, is to just sent them away, to get their own food.
Thirdly, they have just two loaves and five fish, and it isn't sufficient to feed the five thousands.
Nevertheless, Jesus beckoned them to sit down, and He began to distribute the loaves and fish to the disciples, who then, passed it on to the people, until all were fed. The remains was twelve baskets full.
It is indeed an awesome miracle that Jesus had performed in front of them.
Jesus is not just concerned about our spiritual poverty, but he is also concerned for our physical needs. ( GIVE THEM TO EAT ).
Many people does not understand our God enough to trust Him for our physical needs. We are often short sighted or " Blind ", that is, why God always said may our " Eyes" and " Ears", be opened.
FOR HE IS THE LIVING BREAD THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND THERE IS NONE BESIDE HIM.
Yes, many times, we show our lack of "FAITH," in trusting Him for our needs.
Just like these people, we always or only believe, when we can " SEE. "
But, the Lord said, " BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVED, EVENTHOUGH THEY CANNOT SEE."
LET US THEREFORE, EXAMINED OURSELVES, AND LOOK TO HIM WHO IS OUR HOPE, OUR " BREAD OF LIFE.'
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EYES AND EARS, MAY YOU BEGIN TO ' SEE AND HEAR.' AMEN.
