Feeding Many Through the Hands of a Few
Just before the Passover of 32 C.E., Jesus performed a miracle, the only one that was recorded by all four Gospel writers.
By means of this miracle, Jesus set a pattern that he continues to follow in our day.
-
Jesus instructed his disciples to feed the crowds, even though they had only five loaves and two fish
-
Jesus took the loaves and fish and, after praying, began to distribute them to the disciples who, in turn, distributed them to the crowds
-
Miraculously, there was more than enough for everyone to eat. Jesus fed thousands through the hands of just a few—his disciples
-
Jesus foretold that during the last days, he would appoint a channel to provide spiritual “food at the proper time.”—Mt 24:45
-
In 1919, Jesus appointed “the faithful and discreet slave,” a small group of anointed brothers, over “his domestics,” those who are fed
-
By means of this small group of anointed brothers, Jesus is following the pattern he set in the first century
How can I show that I recognize and respect the channel that Jesus is using to feed people spiritually?
