“It’s a Miracle!” – Jesus Feeds 5,000

Posted by npulpit on

Episode 382: It is a miracle as familiar as any. We teach it in children’s Bible class with Goldfish crackers. We teach it in adult Bible class. Sermons are preached on it. It is the only miracle, save for the resurrection of Jesus, recorded in all four (4) gospels. So the difficulty is to read this miracle with fresh eyes. Jesus feeding 5,000 men was a miracle which left a deep impression on the early church. Tune in as I walk through this miracle and see what it says for us today.

Episode 381: Jesus healed a lot of people. Several of those people were blind. Up to this point in Jesus’ ministry we have seen him heal a blind person or two, but not two at a time. Granted, we have seen Him heal two people in rapid succession, but this is the first instance of simultaneous healing. Tune in as I explore this interesting miraculous event.
