lesson text—Mark 6-JM4;
golden TEXT-o^ am the bread of We:
e that eometb to me ihaB never tumfer;
,nd be that bellevetii oa aae shall never
hirst—John d:3S.
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.
