They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. Matthew 14:20 NIV Where did the baskets come from? Why did Jesus work this miracle and then produce too much food? There were 12 disciples & 12 baskets of food. There appears to be a message here for Jesus team - perhaps it's this - everyone here knows who I am, has tasted the bread of life, but you've got a basket in your hand now to take to those who have not been here, who haven't participated...and share with them. This food shouldn't be wasted but given. Will you take this small piece of grace that is in your hand and give it to someone who needs it? You can give it to these people who are already full, you could just discard it...or you could seek out those who need it and share with them... #bread #breadoflife #itsagift #grace

And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. Matthew 14:19 NIV Matt doesn't day who got the fish, but the bread was broken and fed everyone who wanted some. Jesus said in John 6 "I am the bread if life" The bread. Broken. Broken for us. Available for all who are willing to accept Him And this was a pointer to how God was going to operate...no longer in the fire and cloud...no longer in one person...but now available to all. God in a sense consumed by us and living within... #bread #breadoflife #itsagift #sunday #worship #thisisourGod
