\u2018JESUS FEEDS THE FIVE THOUSAND\u2019<\/p>\n
The Gospel story tells of the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5000 people beside the Sea of Galilee. The crowds followed Jesus everywhere because they saw the great signs of his healing people who were sick. Jesus wanted to get away for a while from the crowd with his disciples. They went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee and went to the mountainside. The crowds saw them and followed. \u00a0Jesus saw them. He wanted to do something for them. He spoke to Philip, \u201cwhere are we to buy bread for these people to eat?\u2019 Philip immediately thought in monetary terms. It wasn\u2019t what Jesus was thinking. He knew what he was about to do.\u00a0 He was testing Philip. Then Andrew noticed a boy with \u2018five barley loaves and two fish\u2019 but he thought it wasn\u2019t enough for all the people. Yet he was very generous in giving over the little food he had. Immediately Jesus spoke and told the disciples to tell the people to sit down. Very simply then, \u2018Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.\u2019<\/p>\n
When the people had finished eating their fill, Jesus told them to gather the leftover food and they filled twelve baskets. That meant there was even more food if they were to get hungry later on. The people recognised Jesus as the prophet \u2018who is to come into the world\u2019. Jesus noticed they \u2018were about to take him by force to make him king\u2019 so he went off to the mountain by himself.<\/p>\n
Jesus was doing the work of God. He didn\u2019t see himself as a king. Through the action of Jesus, God\u2019s care and concern, love, generosity and sharing are shown. The disciples came to see that Jesus was doing as God asked and they were called to do likewise.\u00a0 Today Jesus calls disciples to continue doing God\u2019s work in the world to build the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
