Jesus feeds 5000 and he needs you to obey
I do not know about the possible layoff this summer but I will let you know when more is known. It is a concern I am asking you to pray for and to ask for all the Lord has for me and his plan in his heart for me serving him. It is not a truth that the Lord is going to give me a Job but it is him that is going to take care of me because that is the thing he said he was going to do and I trust his hands and love for me. If the Bible is not to be trusted then the we all are just heading to hell as fast as it is possible to go there and I am not in that road. If your not a saved person you better get Jesus and stop playing around because he is going to come back one day and take his own and send the rest into everlasting hell and darkness. It is not a tale it is the truth and I ask you all to make time in life to find Jesus.
Why did Jesus feed the people? Lets look at this true story of Jesus and what he did to prove that he is the Son of God and God in the flesh.
John 6 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
The sea here is a real sea and it is in the nation of Israel and this is a proof that Jesus is real. It might be this is a gap between the last time Jesus is speaking and this point of his life. It might be 6 to 10 months. We see Jesus last in the land in the south and now this takes place in the north. I guess God did not have to say anything because we do not know what Jesus did. Many folks just wanted to see Jesus do a show and he was just using the things like feeding 20 thousand folks to bring them the good news and not for a show. I think of all the fakes out there that so called heal folks and then ask for money. I think most are shams and I name Hinn and his faked healing and others. Listen to me, Benny Hinn is a Sham out to take your cash and buy himself things and that goes for most so called preachers on the TBN network. Nowhere is this fraud in the bible and if you think it is show it to me. Jesus never ever asked for a dime after he did things and shame on anyone that does today.
4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”
Jesus had compassion on people. Jesus had wanted to help the people out and feed them and heal them because he loves people. Jesus loves you and wants you to love him and give all you have to him. Jesus saw the 20,000 and he asked Phil to buy bread and food for all the people. I think this was a test to see if they knew Jesus was God. But they had 200 denarii which might be a month of wage today. Way more I think but Peter finds a kid with 5 things of bread and 2 fish. Peter had guts and some type of faith I think the Lord gave him the question to ask myself.
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”
One of the best verses in the bible is they were filled. Jesus made all the people sit and he fed them all making the food (because this is God here) and filling the need. And there were leftovers to. He is a filling savior and he does not waste. I think that is a tad wacko so no building on that. If God can feed 20,000 he can take care of us can he not? I think this is one of the things I take out of this. I also take this is a God sign that Jesus is God and he proves it right here.
13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”1
Some got it that Jesus is some kind of prophet. Right on? No they missed the whole thing. Jesus is not a good man he is the one that saves you and ie is looking for you to repent and take you into himself as he is the Lord and king of your life. Jesus is Lord and demands you to follow and worship him. People want to have a friend in Jesus but that is not what he is. He is your commander and he said to do things and you best do them. He is your king that gave his life for you not to go to hell and if you just want a pal Jesus is not for you. He is you everything and your life is for his use not yours. It is him calling the shots and you doing whatever he orders you to do and that means obey Jesus. Do not miss it your to do as Jesus commands and not do as the flesh wishes.
