FEEDING THE MULTITUDE 1

Mark 6:34-42 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. (35) And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: (36) Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. (37) He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? (38) He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. (39) And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. (40) And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. (41) And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. (42) And they did all eat, and were filled.

INTRODUCTION:
Because of the lengthy scripture reference today I will be brief with the introduction. Just as the multitudes were weak from physical hunger in this passage of scripture I believe today that the multitudes are spiritually weak from spiritual hunger. Just as it took Jesus and a miracle to feed them then, it will take Jesus and a miracle to feed them today. I hope you will receive a blessing from this series of devotionals over the next few days.
