P.K.’s Corner
Matthew 14:61“They do not need to go away, you give them something to eat”.
Picture the scene, 5000 + people scattered out on the hill side listening to the words of Jesus. The day is getting long, and many have not eaten. You can almost hear the stomachs growling from hunger. Concerned for the people, maybe out of fear of a riot, the disciples suggest the people be sent away in order to find food.
The disciples find some food, and a young boy willing to share it.
Jesus blessed the food, and all were fed. But, the one act that allowed the feeding of the 5000 is the initial act of a young lad sharing his food. You see, Jesus cannot bless what has not been shared.
In our churches, people share their talents, and we are blessed by beautiful music, artistry, bible studies and fine meals. These folks who share understand that in order to be blessed, you must share and give up something of yourself. Just as the young lad gave up his meal, so we are called to give up ourselves. The young lad did not go hungry, and we will not be left alone if we share what God has given us.
If we trust in God, and offer what we have, even if it is fish and bread, the world will be blessed.
Think about it.
God Bless
