The masses were confused and hungry. • But a boy with a bagged lunch understood, and his tuna fish sandwich fed them all.A Boy Feeds 5,000 (John 6)

(v.6) • Yet the Spirit hovered Jesus “already had in mind what he was going to do.†(v.5) • Lights turned on “Where shall we buy bread …?†(v.5) • Horizon established “…for these people to eat†(v.5) • Rearranged resources “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish.†(v.9) • Prepared environment “Have the people sit down†(v.10) • Experienced God’s provision “Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed…†(v.11) • Reproduced and ruled “…as much as they wanted.†(v.11) • Rested “When they had all had enough to eat†(v.12)Topics: bagged lunch, bible, creativity | No Comments »
