Chapter 170: Five Loaves and Two Fish

The note had two words written on it: Church.

Huang Youhuan figured out the instructions that Shiya left for himself in the end. She knew that he needed to find Martin, who was in Thailand and he was not likely to go to the temple, he should be more present in the church. Whether it's prayer or communication, churches are the best place of cover for foreigners, especially Europeans.

Thinking of this, Huang Youhuan patted his head vigorously.

The believer spoke slowly, "Jesus was a saint." He was so busy treating the sick all day that he didn't have time to eat. I also heard that my pioneer cousin John had died. So he secretly took a boat to Bethsaida, which was Philip's hometown.

But the people did not "spare" Jesus, and when they saw that Jesus had run away in a boat, they hurried around the lake on foot, and they ran much faster than the boat.

When Jesus saw the people like this, he had compassion on them, and healed the sickness among them, and preached to them the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus was always so lazy that the people listened to him with great interest. But when the sun was about to set, the disciples reminded Jesus that it was too early for the class to end, so that the people could find their own food and shelter, because the place where Jesus was preaching was a barren mountain and there was nothing.

But Jesus said to his disciples, "Give them food." The disciple was stunned, isn't this a joke, but no one dared to say that the 12 people gathered around and took out all the money on their bodies to make up, no more, no less, a total of twenty silver coins.

Jesus called Philip and said, "Isn't this your hometown?" Think of a way to see where we can buy bread for the people to eat. ”

Philip was stunned for a moment, and said, "I am familiar with this place, but we only have twenty pieces in total, so it is not enough." Actually, Jesus didn't make things difficult for Philip, Jesus had his own way, he just wanted to try him.

At this time, Andrei brought a small child, he had five loaves and two fish. The disciples complained, "What is the point?"

Jesus took the child and told his disciples to sit down in rows. Then he took five loaves of bread and two fishes and blessed them to heaven, and when the blessing was finished, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, so that they could share them among the people. The disciples' hearts were broken, how can this be divided, one person to look at it? Or a lick by one person? Jesus said, "Give them as much as they want." ”

The disciple muttered in his heart, and he could only do it, and then the disciple was dumbfounded. Everyone had enough food, and the disciples gathered up the remaining scraps, and each of them collected a large basket.

When Jesus did this, the disciples were broken, but Jesus definitely did not mean to embarrass the disciples. Because he knows the answer, he has his own solution, and he is just testing the disciples.

What should Jesus do when he says to Philip about "us"? Jesus never left the problem to his disciples, he didn't stay out of it, he was always with them. Many times, it is when we forget the Lord Jesus and He is always there.

So why would the Lord deliberately test the disciples when he had the solution?

It is not difficult to understand that Jesus was running out of time on earth, and he had to train his disciples and discipline them. They have to go through all the difficulties themselves and go through them several times, so that they can grow, mature, and take charge of themselves.

It's the same for us. We have a lot of difficulties in our lives, and we may complain and blame Jesus for not helping us. In fact, we were wrong, he was always there, he looked at us, expecting us to face it, and walk bravely past.
