Becoming Love: If We Start at Finish, Where Do We End? (Part 1)Намуна

Day Four: Feeding of the 5000

Have you ever felt there’s just not enough to go around?

In Matthew 14, a crowd of 5000 men were listening to Jesus teach over the course of a few days. This left the people hungry and Jesus’ disciples with a conundrum when Jesus looked to them, asking them where they would find enough food to feed the people. Talk about not having enough to go around!

First, Jesus didn’t see a problem. He saw people in need.

And He didn’t just fix it — He revealed something deeper about who we are. You see, when we live in perfect union with the Father, love meets need with compassion, and there is always enough.

The second thing we notice is that Jesus expected his disciples to address this need.

This story isn’t just about Jesus feeding a crowd—it’s about who we are in Him.

When we live guided by the Spirit, we don’t just give leftovers; we give from the abundance we receive from the Father.

What needs are in front of you today, and how would love reveal God’s abundance in those needs?
