\n11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him.\u00a0 He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12\u00a0Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, \u201cSend the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.\u201d 13\u00a0He replied, \u201cYou give them something to eat.\u201d\u00a0 They answered, \u201cWe have only five loaves of bread and two fish\u2014unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.\u201d \u00a0 Luke \u202a9:11-13\u202c<\/p>\n
\u270d\ufe0fThe crowd were about 5 thousand men with their families all together at least 20 thousand of people followed Jesus in remote place. Jesus was teaching about the kingdom of God and healing them.\u00a0 Why was Jesus teaching about the kingdom of God until late time even the people were getting hungry?\u00a0 Because when we are seeking God\u2019s kingdom and His righteousness first, God promised us that He will give us everything we need as well.
\nIn Matthew \u202a6:31\u202c-33, Jesus said, \u201cdo not worry about your food and cloths. Your heavenly Father knows what you need all them. But you seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.
\nWho brings God\u2019s kingdom and righteousness to us?\u00a0 Jesus. Jesus gives us eternal and earthly blessing. Jesus wanted the people to have eternal blessing in heaven first, then worldly blessing will be given as well. But disciples still didn\u2019t understand Jesus and His kingdom yet.\u00a0 Continually worried about the food.\u00a0 So, they said to Jesus, \u201cSend the people away to buy their food,\u201d but, Jesus said, \u201cYou give them something to eat.\u201d \u201cNo, don\u2019t send them away from Me, I am the bread and I will feed them.\u201d\u00a0 Jesus is the God, true bread of life from heaven, they must not go away from Him.<\/p>\n
The people had come to Jesus with empty and hungry stomach, how could send them away with still hungry and starving.\u00a0 When we come to Jesus, we expected Him to fill our empty and grieving heart with His love, grace and His true bread.\u00a0 \u201cAway from Jesus\u201d means becoming stray and away from blessing, like prodigal son away from His rich Father.\u00a0 Disciples searched their resources and found only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish that was all they had. It\u2019s too small in their eyes because they only saw what they have on their hands.\u00a0 What do you see? Jesus was there with them, but they didn\u2019t see Him.
\nWhat are those 5 loaves of bread?\u00a0 We know Jesus, our Bread of life, and is the Word of God coming from heaven.\u00a0 Then, five means the 5 books of God\u2019s Word and Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. What are those 2 fish? Fish in Greek \u201cichthus\u201d is are an acronym for the confession of our Christians\u2019 faith, \u201cJesus Christ, Son of God, our Savior.\u201d Which means Christians believe in Jesus as our Christ, Son of God and Savior.\u00a0 The fish became Christian symbol and faith in Jesus Christ. When Jesus said to the disciples, \u201cYou give them something to eat,\u201d He meant that if you have Me, the Word of God in you and Faith in Me, you may have plenty of Bread and Fish and feed all those crowds.\u00a0 Ask Me in My NAME, I will give you abundantly.\u00a0 \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
