The Vision of Jesus
5 G Living:
Do everything you do for the Glory of God
Do everything you do for the Good of your fellow man
Do everything you do for the Growth of your fellow believers in Christ
Do everything you do to get the Gospel to unbelievers
Do everything you do with a grateful heart
Matthew 14:13-21
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. - Moses in Deut. 29:29
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. - Shlomo (Solomon) in Proverbs 3:5-6
The compassionate vision of Jesus - V. 13-14
May it be said of us that we saw, we had compassion, we acted to help meet physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs – just like Jesus.
The creative envisioning of Jesus - V. 15-18
What the disciples said about sending the people away made common sense and fit conventional wisdom, but Jesus often challenges what makes common sense and what fits conventional wisdom!
The word envision means “to picture something in your mind.” They could not envision meeting the crowd’s needs – they only saw what they lacked. They forgot that Jesus was with them, and He can do anything!
When a faithful follower of Jesus devotes 100% of themselves and their resources to Jesus, He multiplies their little into enough. Of course He can do it without us, but He loves to include us in what He’s doing!
The miraculous provision of Jesus - V. 19-21
Here we read of Jesus doing by far the greatest food miracle in the Bible. You might object about the time Moses gave the people manna. But Moses didn’t give the people Manna, God did (John 6:32)!
Elisha took 20 barley loaves and fed 100 men, with some left (a miraculous fivefold increase). Jesus took 5 barley loaves and fed 5,000 men, with enough left over to feed the 100 men Elisha fed (a miraculous thousandfold increase). It was truly a miracle worthy of Immanuel.
