Matthew 15: 29-39; Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus takes care of all needs. After Jesus goes up on the mountainside he is besieged with people suffering from many ailments. Rather than send them away Jesus heals them all, bringing to them that comfort and peace they need in their lives. The crowd whom Jesus feeds has been with him, as Jesus says, for three days. This suggests that Jesus has been preaching and teaching during that time, giving this group of people the spiritual nourishment they need in their lives. And finally, Jesus gives the people some actual food to eat. Jesus knows they are hungry, he does not want them to go away hungry, so he feeds them. Jesus offers all of these things to us as well. When we are broken and in need of healing, Jesus touches us; when we are in need of a word from the Lord and some guidance, Jesus speaks to us; and when we are hungry and need sustenance for our faith, Jesus feeds us. Jesus takes care of all our needs. God bless you.
