I love reading God’s Word and you should too, it’s your compass to get you through! In the morning, during the evening or maybe for a mid-day break, just pick up your Bible and read it every day.
Jesus fed 5,000 people with five fish and two loaves of bread with leftovers…
In the book of Luke chapter 9 verse 9-17 it reads, “Late in the afternoon, the 12 apostles came to Jesus and said, “No one lives in this place. Send the people away. They need to find food and places to sleep in the towns and countryside around here.”
But Jesus said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
They said, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. Do you want us to go buy food for all these people?” 14 (There were about 5,000 men there.)
Jesus said to his followers, “Tell the people to sit in groups of about 50 people.”
So the followers did this, and all the people sat down. Then Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for the food. Then Jesus divided the food and gave it to the followers to give to the people. All the people ate and were satisfied. And there was much food left. Twelve baskets were filled with pieces of food that were not eaten. (ICB)
Jesus walked on water as if it was solid ground!
In the book of John chapter 6 verse 15-21 it says,” That evening Jesus’ followers went down to Lake Galilee. It was dark now and Jesus had not yet come to them. The followers got into a boat and started across the lake to Capernaum. By now a strong wind was blowing, and the waves on the lake were getting bigger. They rowed the boat about three or four miles. Then they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming toward the boat. The followers were afraid. But Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. It is I.” Then they were glad to take him into the boat. At once the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go.” (ICB)
Jesus spoke to a monstrous storm and stopped its rumblings!
In the book of Matthew chapter 8 verse 23-27 it states, “Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A very bad storm arose on the lake. The waves covered the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The followers went to Jesus and woke him. They said, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the sea. The wind stopped, and the sea became very calm.
The men were amazed. They said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!” (ICB)
Jesus even raised a man from his grave who had been dead for four days!
Impossible? Not for God Almighty.
In the book of John chapter 11 verse 38-44 it says, “Again Jesus felt very sad in his heart. He came to the tomb. The tomb was a cave with a large stone covering the entrance. Jesus said, “Move the stone away.”
Martha said, “But, Lord, it has been four days since he died. There will be a bad smell.” Martha was the sister of the dead man.
Then Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
So they moved the stone away from the entrance. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me. I know that you always hear me. But I said these things because of the people here around me. I want them to believe that you sent me.” After Jesus said this, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out. His hands and feet were wrapped with pieces of cloth, and he had a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take the cloth off of him and let him go.” (ICB)
Jesus performed oodles of miracles… (John 20: 30-31 ICB)
“Jesus answered, “The things impossible for men are possible for God.” (Luke 18:7 ICB)
And God didn’t stop there…. More to come later. See you soon and in the meantime read the Bible for yourself.
