Luke 9:1-17
Jesus sends out the Twelve. They set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Take nothing for the journey- no staff, no bad, no money, no extra tunic. Whatever house you enter , stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them.
Jesus feeds the five thousand through five loaves and the two fish. Jesus taking it and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
This time they are to go as they are, travelling light.
Luke seems to have a special source of information about Herod, perhaps through Joanna.
The feeding is a miracle and a 'sign' which indicates Jesus' true identity. It may also anticipate the Messiah's banquet-feast with his people.
Why?
Jesus have the right change everything and multiple anything. Jesus looking up to heaven, gave thanks mean he was praying to the Lord and miracle happened.
Take nothing for the journey is serving the Lord and preaching gospel to the world, so the world will support their needs, but to those who does not welcome them, shake the dust off your feed to testimony against them. This is a spiritual testimony.
Good news is the gospel and healing. through Jesus Christ.
Jesus let his apostles leaned living by the faith instead of the material, food.
God's food gave to the people through hands of his disciples, so as God blesses people through his follower, Christian.
How?
Jesus is my Lord, we are living by the faith, instead by the food, get food is more easy than get the faith. We are the media to give blessing to others.
