Miracles (part 4)

Feeding the Five Thousand
Matthew 14:13-21
Feeding the Four Thousand
Matthew 15:32-37

In this class I used a video as a major part of the class. I took a video correspondence class on the Life of Christ and I used the video for Feeding the 5,000 as the discussion starter. We actually watched a college professor teach this lesson and we had a discussion afterwords.

Place yourself in the crowd. Imagine if you were the last person in line to get food. What would be going through your head when you found out how much food Jesus had to start with. Would there be enough?
Now imagine the moment you find out that there will be enough food. How do you feel?
Place yourself as one of the disciples. What are you thinking?
Place yourself as someone who was not there but was told what happened by someone who was there.
What if you were the little boy with the fish and bread? Would your eyes be bugging out? I can imagine him rushing home to tell his parents what he saw.

God will provide for our needs. Look at Moses and the Israelites in the desert.
