What is Jesus is saying to us?
What are the lessons that Jesus is teaching.....
He (Jesus) is in control. He is the creator, the Son of God, the bread of all life. Physical obstacles are no problem to him. He is sovereign over everything
When we accept Him, we can trust him in the storms and in impossible situations. We need to look to him. He is greater than the problems and the opposition that face you
When God works, he chooses to work through his people. What we bring to him, and give to others (in obedience to him) he will bless
God chooses to work through us
There is always the hungry multitude (physical and spiritual), there is always a little band of disciples with few resources, and there is always a compassionate Saviour...
God chooses to work through his people. What we bring to him he can multiply to meet the needs of many. What we give to others he will bless.
When we trust and obey he will work through us to bless others
