Jesus the Multiplier

Jesus the Multiplier

A large crowd of listeners. A pastoral picnic scene. 5,000 hungry people. Only 5 loaves and 2 fish. This is a day that would not be forgotten. Jesus does much more than feed the hungry. In this sermon, Pastor Mark unpacks Jesus’ mission as the liberation of men’s souls. Even as we watch Jesus speak to the hearts of his hungry people, we are stunned by His compassionate response which sees beyond the immediate need of bread to their deeper need. They are sheep without a Shepherd. Just like the disciples in Mark 6:30-44, we are asked to take Jesus on his own terms, to live a risky faith, to remember God’s past faithfulness, and to count on Him to meet today’s need. Jesus longs to reveal Himself, His might and liberating power, thereby feeding and freeing our hungry souls.
