“Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and
distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same
with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.”
John 6:11
it was almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration.
Jesus had been teaching and healing people all day! He
and his disciples had not even gotten a chance to eat
anything! They were hungry!
As they got in a boat, and tried to cross over to the far
side of the sea, a huge crowd followed them because they
saw Jesus perform miracles and heal the sick. There were
at least 5,000 men, and that wasn’t even counting all the
women and children!
Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples. He
saw the huge crowd looking for Him, and HE knew how
He would feed them, but He asked His disciple Philip,
“Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?”
There were SO many people there that Philip answered,
“Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have

Good News!
enough money to feed them!”
Peter’s brother was Andrew, and he said, “There’s a
young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But
how will that feed everybody?”
The people were so excited to see Jesus they must have
forgotten to pack a lunch!
Have YOU ever gone to school and forgotten to take your
lunch? Did one of your friends share their lunch with
you? Or have you been the one to share YOUR lunch with
someone?
Well this little boy gave his food to Andrew, so Jesus had
the disciples tell all the people to sit down.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all tell this story, but John
is the only one who mentions it was a young boy’s fish
and bread. And Mark 6:40 tells us they sat in groups of
50 or 100 people. That is a LOT of people to feed!!
Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and
distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same
with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.
After everyone ate, and they were full, Jesus told His
disciples to gather all the leftovers so they did not waste
anything. Do YOU think there were any leftovers?
That’s right! There was!!12 filled baskets of scrapsl! From
ONE little lunch!!
You can read the story in John 6:1-15.
What a neat miracle! It reminds me of Matthew 19:26
when: “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly
speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is
possible.”
There is just some stuff we humans can’t do, so when
God is able to do what we can’t, we call that a miracle!
l love that it was a little boy who was willing to share!
Because of him, over 5,000 people got to be part of that
miracle! They got to see one little lunch multiply into
thousands of lunches! How cool would THAT be?
And, like last week’s message, God loves when we are
generous, cheerful givers! Then He can bless us with
more to share!
