Matthew 15:32-39
Some people claim that there are contradictions in the Bible.
They say that in one place of the Bible records the feeding of the 5000, but here it is 4000 who were fed.
There is no contradiction.
They are 2 distinct miracles (Matthew 16:9-10).
*******
The Lord Jesus Christ was still in Decapolis on the eastern side of the sea of Galilee.
He told the disciples that He had compassion for the people who had been with Him for 3 days and were hungry.
Some of them were far from their homes.
He said, “I do not want to send them away hungry”.
*******
The disciples had not learned the lesson of the feeding of the 5000.
They thought it impossible that the crowd could be fed with just 7 loaves and some small fish.
They asked, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a multitude?”
*******
The Lord Jesus Christ then miraculously fed 4000 men, besides women and children, and 7 large baskets were filled with the remains of the meal.
*******
There is always a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
Religion without true godliness and power cannot satisfy spiritual hunger.
*******
Like the Lord Jesus Christ, we must have compassion for those who are lost.
We must be concerned with those who will spend eternity in hell unless they are saved through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are we sharing our spiritual food with those around us?
Let this be our concern.
We must not send anyone away who still have unsatisfied spiritual hunger.

Human beings have always shown disbelief in True Miracles - since Adam and Eve ate: " The Forbidden Fruit " - that was denied to them.... Instead, they have trusted in their own understanding of what constitutes ' Science and Technology '!
ReplyDeleteI have recently written an article, entitled: " The Truth About: Modern Technology, The Illuminati, Hidden Knowledge, and Idol Worship.... " - which might be of an interest to you. Check it out; and tell me what you think....
Shalom.
