Five loaves of bread and Two Fish...

This passage challenges me... I was praying and was led to the passage again. Was thinking out loud where to find jobs for people who were retrenched and also what's for the coming year? There are already a trickle of people that were directed to us... through various contacts and sources. There was even a suggestion to compile the list to see what's the number...

What do we do? Direct them to where? Send them away? Yes! That was in my thought... Send them away.

But, Jesus said,"YOU FEED THEM!"

"Huh? We don't even have enough openings with all the headcounts freeze! You kidding us right?? We only have a couple of openings, that's all we have. Don't even know how to even share among us? You really expecting us to???"

I did not dare to thread further.... need to contemplate further.... can't imagine any further. But I know, at least for now, that Jesus fed 5000 men excluding women and children that day by looking towards heavens and bless the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish... whatever that the twelve have.

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand (Luke 9)

10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida. 11 But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. He welcomed them and taught them about the Kingdom of God, and he healed those who were sick.

12 Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this remote place.”

13 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”

“ “Impossible!” they protested. “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” 14 For there were about 5,000 men there.


Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 So the people all sat down.


16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. 17 They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers!
