Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is one key phrase that we are supposed to notice as we read this passage, 'green grass.' When we read those words we are supposed to remember Psalm 23, in which the Lord makes the writer lie down in green pastures. When we read this story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand we are supposed to see Jesus as our shepherd, the one who provides for all our needs. Jesus is our shepherd, we shall not want. He makes us lie down in green pastures. He leads us beside still waters. He restores our souls. Jesus is our shepherd who takes care of us, who makes sure we have all we need. Jesus feeds the five thousand not because he has to, or to show off, but because he wants to. Jesus is our shepherd. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
