“Jesus Steals Small Child’s Lunch: His Disciples are Stunned”

Series
~ I hope these posts lighten your day as we take a light-hearted look at some
Scripture verses and related spiritual topics. Some of these views or concepts
may be well known to you, but hopefully others will be new.
Scripture ~ “After
these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He
performed on those who were diseased.
And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
“Now
the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 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?’ But this He said to test him, for He Himself
knew what He would do.
“Philip
answered Him, ‘Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them,
that every one of them may have a little.’
“One
of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, ‘There is a
lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they
among so many?’
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. 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. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, ‘Gather
up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.’ 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. 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’” (John
6:1-14; see also Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17).
Comment
~ It is interesting that the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000
men (plus women and children) is the only one of the recorded miracles of Jesus
Christ is the only miracle (other than the resurrection) that is recorded in
all four of the Gospel accounts.
