16 – Read Mark 6:30-44
Another amazing sign that God’s kingdom is
dawning happens when Jesus feeds a huge crowd. Having returned from their
mission, the disciples are looking for the chance to tell Jesus all that they
did and to get some rest. He takes them away to an isolated place, but when
word gets out that he is on the move, thousands seek him out. Compassionately
Jesus teaches them until it grows late. The disciples then ask him to send the
crowd home, but having fed them with the Word, Jesus then proceeds to fed them
with bread and fish.
Reflection Questions: Do you ever feel compassion burnout
– as if there are more needs for you to address than you have energy and
spiritual strength to handle? Do you find that God is there for you when this
happens?
Prayer: Dear God, open me up to your abundant
love and power. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
