Jesus Feeds the 5000

Always a Great Time for Compassion - Siempre un buen Momento para la Compasión

Matthew 14:13–21 NKJV

13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.” 16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” 17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” 18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Matthew 14:13–21 RVR60

13 Oyéndolo Jesús, se apartó de allí en una barca a un lugar desierto y apartado; y cuando la gente lo oyó, le siguió a pie desde las ciudades. 14 Y saliendo Jesús, vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, y sanó a los que de ellos estaban enfermos. 15 Cuando anochecía, se acercaron a él sus discípulos, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y la hora ya pasada; despide a la multitud, para que vayan por las aldeas y compren de comer. 16 Jesús les dijo: No tienen necesidad de irse; dadles vosotros de comer. 17 Y ellos dijeron: No tenemos aquí sino cinco panes y dos peces. 18 El les dijo: Traédmelos acá. 19 Entonces mandó a la gente recostarse sobre la hierba; y tomando los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió y dio los panes a los discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud. 20 Y comieron todos, y se saciaron; y recogieron lo que sobró de los pedazos, doce cestas llenas. 21 Y los que comieron fueron como cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.

1- John the Baptist Died and Jesus went away (v13)

We go through things that cause us to need to withdraw

The world is still hurting, even when we are

2- The need for Jesus is wherever we are (v14)

Jesus’ response was compassion

Our response to those in need must be compassion

Called to Great Commission - Llamado a la Gran Comisión

3- The disciples found a problem that required action

To them it was an Obstacle

With Jesus it was an Opportunity

4- Jesus commissions them to be part of the answer

They gave Jesus what they had

Jesus used what they had

BE a Christian - SER Cristiano

5- When we ARE a Christian, we give all we have to Jesus, He multiplies it, we participate in miracles.

We hinder ourselves

Don’t just do, Be.

Isaiah 41:10 NKJV

10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

10 No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; no desmayes, porque yo soy tu Dios que te esfuerzo; siempre te ayudaré, siempre te sustentaré con la diestra de mi justicia.
