Discuss Mark 6 Page 6

6: 30-44 I was encouraged by the fact that Jesus cared anough about the apostles to have them care to see that it was ok for them to need rest and leisure time after ministering so intensely. I also thought about how Jesus encouraged those to step out of their doorways, from safety, into the crowds,actually mobs, of unknown people - we, too, are drawn out of our "safety areas" by Christ, to Him, to learn of Him, and into ministry with unknown people. He fed ALL the people, regardless of who they were, where they came from, what they did or didn't do, etc. - we are all given the same invitation to come to Christ and He is there to teach and feed all of us! The people all were FULL, with more left over, just as we are when we allow Christ to do the "feeding." So many lessons in this one passage and I have read this passage and heard it preached many times without these thoughts before. It is truly a blessing that God feeds us with His Word with something more and deeper each time "we sit and eat with Him!" Thank you, Lord!

Very humbling and well said.

We see Jesus being told of his cousins death and we fail to think of the shock and the pain he suffered over John,s death.When I lost my wife suddenly I was tempted to walk away I know how It must have effected him in personal sorrow and temptation to give up Jesus didn't and we should not give in to Satan and his lies he is a killer and a deceiver and in my pain and anger I admit I did ask God Why but I repented and am now restored to his loving kindness I know I have more trials to bear but I will go on witnessing for Him If you have been sidetracked by death be encouraged God is able to provide you needs be it strength you peace whatever He will be their for you Commit it to Himbelines
