Jesus Feeds The 5000

The crowd had been listening to Jesus teach all day long. It was getting late and they were getting hungry, but no one wanted to leave! So, Jesus told His disciples to give the people something to eat. His disciples were perplexed. Where in the world were they supposed to get enough food to feed a crowd of five thousand? One little boy offered up his meager rations – five small loaves of bread and two small fish. Jesus instructed His disciples to begin distributing it among the people. Imagine their surprise when not only did they have enough to feed everyone, but had twelve baskets of food leftover!

Jesus can make a little go a long way. I don’t know what you have to offer. You may feel like it’s not very much – like God could never use you to make a difference. But, friend, look at what He did with a little boy’s snack. If He can use that to feed the multitudes, imagine what He could do with what you have to offer.
