The Loaves and the Fish: Have Compassion on those in Need
In Your Presence - A podcast by Eric Nicolai
Categorie:
Matt 14, 12: John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. Jesus was deeply affected by the sad news of John the Baptist's death. So he wanted to be alone, to pray. But people came after him, so he cured them and taught them. Then came the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and the fish. At Herod’s banquet, we see false pride, arrogance, victimization of the righteous, the misuse of power, and murder. At Jesus’ banquet there is compassion, healing, trust, and sharing. The disciples didn't think they could be up to the task, but Jesus showed them it was possible with his help. Music: Soledad by Carlos Gardel, arranged for guitar by Bert Alink Thumbnail: Mosaic "Burnt Church" in Hippos, Israel.
