4000 fed

4000 fed – Matt 15:32-39 & Mark 8:1-9

                It was in the area of Decapolis not long after Jesus healed the dumb man that people began to run short of food.  Jesus felt sorry for them as He did when He feed the 5000.  So He again fed them.  The people ate and were satisfied by what Jesus gave them.

1.        Jesus as the bread of life not only feeds the spiritual but also feeds the physical man.  Jesus wants to meet the needs of people in the physical realm as well.

2.        He had compassion on the people.  They had been with him for more than three days.  When you have been with the Lord for a time He will always take care of all your needs. 

3.        Jesus did not want them to go away hungry so with 7 loaves He feed 4000 men not including the women and children.

4.        Jesus as the bread of life will always satisfy the hungry.  There is an invitation today to be fed and your thirst quenched by coming to Jesus.
