Transforming Power Statements:
#1) Jesus our LORD is the Great Shepherd who knows our every need and always has a way to make ends meet; He is more deeply concerned for our spiritual nutrition knowing that if we have sought God first that He has promised to meet our needs. (Matt 6:33)
#2) Jesus Made provision for the multitude through the agency of His disciples who acted as priests to the world in delivery of the things of God to the satisfaction of themselves and God as well, Who is delighted to be our Provider.
#3) The abundant supply for our needs can be seen in the fact that after all had been well fed, there were twelve baskets of fragments left over when all were full; there was even a basket for Judas, Christ’s betrayer. |
