Are You Hungry?
Growing up in Coal City I had two best friends, who happened to be twin brothers, Kevin and Jason. Whenever we got together we were like the Three Stooges. We went to church together, went camping, fishing, played sports, we even got into trouble together. Even though we live in separate cities now, Jason in Plainfield and Kevin in Indianapolis, when we got together in a few years ago for their 30th Bday and when we get together for mine in April, we still acted like the Three Stooges. But there was a “Fourth Stooge”who acted right along with us, their father Al. He really made an impact on my life spiritually. Now Al passed away in May of 1999 with cancer. Every time I went over to their house Al always asked me, “Wayne are you hungry, do you want anything to eat?”
Three questions to think about:
1. Did you get enough?
2. Would you like some more?
3. Are you full?
I think Jesus is asking us these same questions. In Matthew 15:29-38 it gives the account of the feeding of the four thousand. As we observe the Lord's Supper ask yourself these questions again. Are you hungry? Did you get enough? Would you like some more? There is plenty of God's saving Grace to go around. Are you full? Are you being filled?
