  Day 19: Mark 6:30-44
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

This event happened somewhere on the north east shore of the Sea of Galilee well away from the influence of the synagogues. Jesus knew these people needed teaching and were wandering aimlessly through life without any real direction. Jesus’ popular movement attracted a lot of people and this was an opportunity to plant simple and straightforward ideas about the Kingdom of God. The people were not expecting to stay so long which is why they ran out of food.

Why do people need a Shepherd?

Do you recognise this in people around you?
What can be done to meet that need?
