5 Loaves of Bread and 2 Fish
Can you feed a group of about 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish?
Maybe you could feed a family of 5? If everyone takes 1 loaf of bread and a few slices of fish, it would be possible.
Jesus managed to feed 5000 with that small amount. Yes! He did! And don't forget, these people haven't had anything to eat for 3 days already. Surely they must be hungry. Under normal circumstances, 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish wouldn't even be able to feed 5 hungry and starving people.
HOWEVER...These aren't normal circumstances! This is a miracle of Christ. You must surely think he's some David Copperfield! BUT, David Copperfield can only make illusions look real, I doubt he can feed a group of 5000 people.
And even more amazingly, after the 5000 have finished eating, the disciples could pick up 12 basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. Amazing!
What is worth noting is that sometimes we find that we have so little of something, be it food, money or maybe even something closer to home like time! But with God, He makes it special by making it sufficient for us, and eventually we find that we have it in excess! Yes, it only happens if you put your faith in God.
Another thing worth mentioning is sharing. God loves a cheerful giver. Even if you have very little of something, if you find that you share it cheerfully, you'll find the result very rewarding. Why not try it?
Bbeing an IB student trying to meet deadlines, I'm making these blog posts for the love of sharing God's word with everyone else. If people read it, and realise the amazing miracles of God, it is rewarding for me to have been able to spread God's word. Even if people don't read this, I find that being enlightened by finding deeper meanings of the Bible very satisfying.
I would like to leave with a message:
On our own, we may find that we lack something or have only a very little bit of it.
With God, He makes the little amount count for something by means of miracles.
Make everything count for something!
UPDATE:
I realised I forgot to mention the boy who gave his 5 loaves and 2 fish to Jesus. He had faith in Jesus and gave his ALL (The food was his dinner). Yes, he knew he was giving food to the Son of God and not some conman. He did not know what Jesus was going to do, but had simple innocent faith in Jesus who could work miracles with anything. This was the catalyst of Jesus' miracle. The boy did NOT get short changed. He increased in spiritual faith, helped feed 5000 people, had this small but significant action recorded in the gospel, what more, with 12 baskets of leftovers, the boy could have brought it all back!
Give whatever little you have to Jesus, and you will be rewarded tremendously! Try it!
