Food for 5000

 Matthew 14:14-21

Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”  We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

“Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Why?

You give them to eat, Jesus asked disciples to give people something to eat.

Jesus looking up to heaven and he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Jesus gets power and multiple foods from 5 loaves to many. It shows the supernature power of Jesus Christ.

The sequence of giving is Jesus to disciples, then to the people. The blessing of the Lord is from Christian to others. We are the median person between the Lord and others to witness the greatness of Jesus Christ.

希律認識的耶穌以為是死裏復活的約翰,耶穌的回應是退到曠野。

耶穌所行的能力超過摩西、以利沙。摩西是求神賜食物,耶穌是主動提供百姓食物,這些人還沒有認識耶穌就在憐憫我們,保護我們。

透過門徒來發餅,餅一直在增加,門徒也驚訝他們手中的餅一直經歷神蹟,門徒當時是疲累的,但是經歷這些神蹟時,他們的疲憊已經消失,而且成為令人興奮的事。如果說現場有6000人,12個門徒來發,平均一個人發500份,經歷500次神蹟。參加在神的工作中,與神同工,關心主所關心的人,還超過我們放幾天假。

How?

Do my best to witness the love and great way Jesus has given to me to my surrounding people.
