Easter 2016 reflections: five loaves and two fish by ric Gustafson
Today's bible reading is Mark 6: 30-44. Just imagine what Jesus's disciples were thinking. In front of them were five thousand hungry people. And what was even worse was the meager amount of food they had to feed them all. All they had were five loaves of bread and two fish. This would not be enough to feed anybody.
They watched as Jesus took the bread and fish and praised God for it. Then he handed it out to them to give to the people. Jesus wants us to take stock of what we have and thank his Father for it. Then we can go out into the world and work for his Father. As we labor for Jesus, we need to ask for God's blessings. When we call on God, our resources will become unlimitless.
