This event in the life of Jesus actually happened just before the time Jesus walked on the water. Jesus was trying to get away from the crowds around the Sea of Galilee, to get some rest. He and the disciples got into a boat and crossed to the east side of the sea. But the people wanted to hear Jesus teach so much that they followed along the shore, so that they were waiting when Jesus got there.
Jesus had compassion on the people and continued to teach them until late in the day. Then everyone realized that it was late, they were far from home (or anywhere they could get food), and they were hungry. The disciples told Jesus to send the people away, but Jesus knew that they needed food.
That’s when Andrew found the boy with a lunch of five loaves of bread and two fishes…not much to feed the crowd, which was at least 5000 men plus women and children. But, after Jesus had everyone sit down and had blessed the bread and fishes, the disciples had enough to pass out so that everyone had plenty to eat. They even filled up twelve baskets with left-overs!
Jesus was able to do this miracle because He is God. He did it because people had a need and He had compassion on them. It also helped them to believe that He really was the Messiah sent from God.
We will celebrate Valentine’s Day this Sunday with special refreshments. We will also have another play to dramatize the story. This would be a perfect day to come and bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
