Mark 6:36 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.
THEY WERE A HUNGRY CROWD
Even the disciples knew that they were hungry and needed to eat. Their solution was to send them away to fend for themselves. We look out on a world that is spiritually famished and our first reaction is like that of the disciples. It is not my problem. Let them go find help for themselves.
People without Christ in their lives have an emptiness that they are trying to fill. They may try to fill it by becoming involved in all sorts of things, many times sinful things but they find that it is never enough. Just this past week a young actress that I will not name was back in the news. She was on probation and she failed a drug test and was taken back to jail.
You would think that money, fame and popularity would go a long way in filling the emptiness inside someone but it is all too often we hear of them being engaged in all sorts of destructive behavior. I personally believe they are trying to fill the spiritual emptiness inside them with things that can never satisfy. What they really need is the Bread of Life.. Jesus Christ.
The world is hungry. Don't send them away. Share what you already have with them and they will be miraculously filled. What you have is a personal relationship with Jesus. If you don't have that relationship please write to me and let me tell you how he can meet that need you have in your life.
