A big lunch
John 6.1-21A large crowd have been closely following Jesus, and Jesus questions his disciples as to how they will provide hospitality to the horde. Andrew, one of Jesus’ disciples, brings a young boy’s small offering to Jesus, unsure of how a trivial contribution could be used. Jesus takes the offering, thanks God for it and feeds about five thousand people – with 12 baskets left over.
Could you enjoy a picnic with friends, relying on everyone bringing something to share, or would you think you had nothing to contribute to the meal? When a boy gave his picnic to Jesus, everyone was blessed by God’s sharing economy. We bring; God multiplies; all receive – whoever we are!
This week we explore bringing what we have and sharing what God makes of it.
