Hungry! That word describes the crying need of the greater part of the world’s population. Men 'who* their ability and ingenuity have brought the nations of the earth into such awful confusion that even God’s abundant provision cannot reach the needy ones. God is concerned about man’s iphysical need just as truly as He is about spiritual, needs. This stoiy [brings Christianity into action on a level that all will appreciate—the need of food for the bMy. It works there as it does everywhere. The supply of every rveed of man is God. ”My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil, 4:19). Countless Christians have found it to be true that we may trust God— completely—and for everything. The stories of the feeding of the two groups of people show the wrong and the right attitude toward man’s need. In two approaches to the problem the disciples were wrong. Then Christ show^ them the right way. ’ I. They Can Take Care nf Their Own Need (6:35, 36). “Send them away”—that was the plea of the disciples when the multi tude of those who had followed Him became hungry. The people were there because they^ were interested in Christ. They had come in a hurry (v. 33) and had not brought food. The problem was on the disciples’ handsT and tb^T^seught-the- easiest way out. Let them shift for them selves—“Send'them away.” ’The church has followed their ex ample in dealing with the social problems of the people down through the years. The result is that being denied fellowship, comfort, and help >y a church which was too busy juilding up a vast organization or beautiful, order of worship, the ommort people have respond- to the appeal of political leaders 'ho have provided a substitute for hat the church should have given Hem When Jesus put upon them the di rect responsibility to feed the people, the disciples changed their “slogan and said: II. We Should Like to Help, but We Cannot (6:37) Reckoning hastily on what a small boy had brought, for his lunch (frust- an alert boy to be ready!), the disciples soon demonstrated that it was impossible to feed this great throng. (See similar reasoning in Mark 8:4) Logic i^ such a devastating thing when it operates apart from faith in Gk)d. They were absolutely right in their reasoning and in their calcula tions, but they had forgotten the one factor that really counted. Jesus was there, and Jesus is God, and God is omnipotent. As we face the need of the wnrld now and after the^war, we wonder how the peoples of other lands can be. fed withfout depriving our own land of what it needs. ’ It is a^reat problem, and. we ought to pray for those who must work with it.
