Mark 6:39-40 NLT

[39] Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. [40] So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred.

Mark 6:39-40 NLT

There were a LOT of people.

There was a TINY amount of food.

It seems that Jesus wanted his team to experience the impossibilty.

To sit with the Impossibility.

To face the Impossibility and follow Jesus anyway. 

And Jesus took his time, waited.

Waited for everyone to get into groups and settle.

Wait for the Impossibility to sit with his team.

He knew he was going to miraculously make a way, but his team didn't.

What they did was act in Faith. 

God, the Eternal, Creator of everything, becoming a person, a baby, entering into the story with His creation.

Impossibility.

Fully God. Fully human.

Impossibility.

Love me.

Accept me.

Adopt me.

Know me and do it anyway.

Be enough to cover all I've done.

Have Grace for me.

Forgive me.

Love me.

Impossibility.

Have a Bigger Story that we're part of.

Impossibility.

Have a Life for me after this life.

Impossibility.

The crowd was invited to sit and wait and Jesus worked with the seeds of life, a drop in the bucket, 5 loaves and 2 fish, and made the Impossibility real.

All he asked from his disciples was to look for the seeds, listen to Him, follow Him.

To have Faith (in the Impossibility).
