Thank you for that lively, spirit-filled worship this morning and those heartfelt, devotional prayers to the Lord. I want to ask you, if you have your Bibles this morning, to turn with us to the Gospel of John, chapter 6. We're going to continue in our series of sermons on those great miracles. And we are now in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have, as we just sung, seen him turn water into wine. We've seen him heal the lepers. We've seen that even the devils themselves were subject to him and he cast them out of those whom they were afflicting.
And here we have one of the greatest miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ and his ministry is exactly halfway through his earthly ministry when this miracle occurs. And it's very unique. And I'd like you to write down this in your notes. We're going to talk about it just a little bit in a minute. But it's the only miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ that is mentioned in all four Gospels. It's mentioned in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and it's the only miracle that that's true of. So we know that the Holy Spirit is very poignant and intentional in having this miracle recorded for us in all four Gospels.
So the title of our message this morning is The Miracle of Little and Much. the miracle of little and much. Beloved, so many things are little in our hands, right? But they are much in His. May you rejoice in that today. Let's hear the Word of the Lord. This is the Word of God given to us from the God of the Word.
John chapter 6 beginning in verse 1 through 14. After these things, Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed Him, and I'd like you to highlight this and underline it in your Bible, because they saw His what, church? Miracles, which He did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? And this he said to prove him, for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, 200 penny worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
So if you want to just know calculation there, that's about an eighth month's salary. For just a common laborer would have been a month salary Philip said Lord if I had saved for eight months of everything I made we we could just barely give everybody just a little bit just to kind of put it in perspective One of his disciples Andrew Simon Peter's Brother said unto him. There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes But what are they among so many? And Jesus said, make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place, so the men sat down and number about 5,000. And Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples. And the disciples to them that were set down, and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the what, the miracle, underline that again, that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth, that prophet, that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. Well, hallelujah. What a miracle by the Lord Jesus Christ.
And so first, what I want to do is just talk about maybe some perspective of why the Holy Spirit saw to it that this miracle alone is recorded in all four of the Gospels. You know, each one of the Gospels gives a unique portrayal of the person and work and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I think and I believe that in this miracle we see each portrayal of that made manifest in the workings and sayings of Jesus Christ in this miraculous moment.
So in Matthew, Matthew really Proclaims Christ to be the Messiah Matthew really proclaims him as the king of the Jews remember how he shows his lineage and all he how he fulfills all those Prophecies and so we see Christ as the Messiah as the king of the Jews reigning over his people reigning over his kingdom providing for them like a shepherd a over his sheep and we see that here and even the people there they Recognize him as the one that Moses foretold of way back in the book of Exodus He said God's gonna raise up another prophet like unto me and he is gonna be God manifest the flesh He's gonna be God among us and so they recognized him in that way and and Christ shows himself as our king here
and then mark and shows Christ as a servant leader, as that burden bearer. We see Christ here, and isn't it wonderful, because all of us come here with our little. All of us come in here with, like Brother Bobby prayed, so many different needs. And isn't it wonderful that when Christ, as the great servant leader, when he looks out at us and at them with compassion, He doesn't say, well, I hope somebody else takes care of them. But he meets the need himself through his omniscience, through his omnipotence, through his sovereign power. He feeds the 5,000. And that was just the men. Did you notice that? That was even just the men. So there had to even be more than 5,000. But there were 5,000 at least. And so we see him reflected in this great miracle as the great servant leader that he is. And that's the kind of leaders that we need to be as well.
Oh, I'm so thankful that Christ does do this great miracle and all the glory has to be attributed unto him. But I love how he uses his disciples. I love how that he uses the little boys a lot. And he employs us also in his service in his kingdom to be servant leaders as well in our communities, in our work, in our families, in our homes, in our church, in our community. Beloved, just the canned goods back there. It can't feed every hungry person that's in Tippecanoe in the world. We can't help every single orphan that's in Africa. We can't minister to every single elderly person even in Tippecanoe today. But we are going to feed one another back here, naturally being fed spiritually by Christ in here so that you can take it and feed others in your life and feed the hungry and visit the fatherless and the widow and their affliction And God will take our little and through his miraculous power, he will make it much. Because God didn't send an activist to change the world. He sent a servant, his son. Isn't that powerful? And we see him here in that role.
And then Luke shows him in his humanity, shows him as that great sacrifice like you read Brother Judith said, bind them to the altar, even to the horns thereof. And we see Christ here in his humanity that he understands our fallenness. He understands our need. He understands how much that we need him and how powerful that faith is and that man shall not live by bread alone. But he proclaims himself shortly after this miracle that he is the bread of life. The manna that they ate in the wilderness, they hungered for day by day and eventually even tired of angels food, the scriptures called it. And here, the bread that he gave them on the mountainside, they would soon be hungry again. He said, but if you'll eat of me, if you'll eat of the bread of life, you'll hunger no more.
And he shows himself in that way as the great sacrifice, the great God-man, and then John proclaims him as God. We get that view of the deity of Christ constantly through the Gospel of John. John even begins the whole Gospel, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. That's how he even begins his Gospel, and so even here we see Jesus as creator this amazing miracle. He's just creating fish. He's creating bread He even says we see his omniscience because he challenges Philip's faith He said he asked Philip see the reason that he asked Philip is because Philip was from this area Philip was from Bethsaida and And so if anybody knew where they could get bread, if it was going to come through just natural means or their ingenuity or their ability, Philip would know. Philip had the context. This was his area. But Jesus said to test Philip, but what did the scripture say? But Jesus knew what? He knew what he was going to do, right? and see here out of one person taking the little that someone was being able to share and making it much to feed the multitudes and to declare and manifest his own glory.
So I think that we can just kind of get a little glimpse into why that this miracle alone is recorded in all four Gospels because it reflects that unique portrayal that each Gospel gives of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so, God multiplies. If you're taking notes, I'd just like you to write this down. This is our overarching theme, I believe, of this miracle, is that God multiplies what we surrender to Him. Oh, what is one life? What is one heart? What is one person going to a nursing home or making dinner for church today? Or what is one little preacher preaching his heart out to people that the rest of the world knows nothing about today? What are our little lives? Oh, they are nothing. Oh, but how God takes what we surrender to Him and how He multiplies it by His power, His efficacy, His grace. Beloved, lift up your heart that our little is much in His hands, in His miraculous heart. God multiplies what we surrender to Him, even when it seems small. to meet both physical and spiritual hunger that is all around us.
So I'm loving today while I'm preaching, looking at that back row of canned goods and dried goods, just extra that we bought, that God's blessed us to have and to do so that God may take that and bless it and multiply it to others who are often you know, at their wits end about even what they're going to do about food. I love to think about today us sharing our meal together, feeding one another, and what's going on in the assembly today as Christ, the Great Shepherd, has brought us, His chosen ones, together to feed, to nourish, to encourage. And God, beloved, He can do that if we would surrender to Him. And confess that, Lord, without you we can do nothing, but through you we can do all things. Hallelujah.
So number one, we see the need before the miracle. The need before the miracle. We have a hungry crowd, but the disciples have empty hands. And isn't that the way with us? We see like, especially in my work with the churches and the people in Africa, you know, it has multiplied. It has grown so much. It is over five countries now, and there's over, you know, 40 churches and ministers and thousands of believers and and uh there's these orphans and you know there's just there's just so much out there there's so much hunger in our hands we feel so often to be so empty and so christ would come to us like he would to philip and he would say uh hey this is your town you know uh you know you're y'all have the disciples were uh men of ingenuity and and uh were hard workers but i think here in the miracle we see that jesus often allows us to face the impossible to reveal his sufficiently and his sufficiency and to see that God and our God and to see Christ here and to see God that God provides abundantly for us and that God is a generous provider. Amen.
We go back to the Old Testament and we remember the miracle there and this parallels it, doesn't it? As Moses was used by God, but Moses didn't really provide the manna in the wilderness, did he? No, it was God. It was God there. Like manna in the wilderness, Exodus 16, you can just write that reference down. I remember when we looked at the life and ministry of Elisha, he had those hundred men in 2 Kings 4 that he fed with bread that God provided. And here we see Christ as the Good Shepherd, how he can meet our need with his miracles.
So often we think that the problem is our lack of resources. Oh, if I just had this or if I just had that. But really, beloved, it's about us learning how to come into the abundance of Christ. Amen. That's true in our needs in life, and that's true for our spiritual needs, and that's true in salvation.
C. H. Spurgeon said this, God never leads us into a situation where His grace cannot keep us. Hallelujah. Does that comfort your hearts today? And I've found that to be so true in my life. God meets our need not based on our ability, hallelujah, but on His generosity. And that's true of our natural needs and that's true of our spiritual needs.
For by grace are ye saved. Right? Through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast. But God has ordained good works that we should walk in them. And so I just see this so powerfully here. He comes to them, all these people need to be fed and so look back with me just here in this part.
The need before the miracle, this hungry crowd, these empty hands, and I know all of us have been in these situations in our lives and we have we have felt this and how wonderful that this reflects the doctrine of grace because this is the way that we become spiritually that we have nothing with which to save ourselves with and so we must come to Christ
so just look at it again verse five When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and he saw a great company coming to him, he saith unto him, Philip, whence shall we buy bread? That these may, very practical question, right? And it's no coincidence that he asked Philip, because like we said, if we study by the life of Philip, this was his area. Philip was of Bethsaida, and so he comes, Because probably Christ knew that if he asked, you know, Peter and John, they said, well, Lord, why don't you go ask Philip? This is where he's from. He's got the connections. He's got the know-how.
So Philip, he has to just say, and this is what he says, that God brings us into these situations in our lives too, to drive us to him, to see our insufficiency. to come to the end of ourselves and to find our all in all in him. Listen to what it says and think about your life.
And this he said to prove him, for he himself knew what he would do. And Philip gives a logical answer. He said, Lord, if I had eight months salary, that's what he said, it wouldn't be sufficient for everybody, only for everybody that could just take up a little.
But beloved, I hope that when you see Christ here in this compassion, in this miracle, and you see Him looking at His disciples and their insufficiency, when He looks at the hungry souls of these that have come to Him on this mountainside, beloved, I hope you see the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I hope that you will pray, Lord, help me to never doubt you again. Help me to not come to you as a last resort, but Lord, as my first response. With every need that I have, spiritually and physically, and to see Christ's compassion put in force here with His sovereignty, with His omniscience, and with His omnipotence. and say, Lord, I know that you can do all things.
How beautiful here we have the opening up of this great miracle of this little in our hands, but much in his.
Secondly, here we see the offering of the boy. The offering of the boy and we see little become much. Does it touch your heart today and does it encourage you to see today that God uses ordinary people? He uses simple gifts to accomplish extraordinary things.
You know, Brother Kevin, whenever I asked him, I said, well, how's it looking up at camp? Brother Kevin says he gives a very grave, honest assessment. He says, it looks like a bombed out city, brother. He said that to me about four times now because you know he has to go out on his deck and see it every morning I'm sure it weighs heavy on him
You know it looks like a bombed-out city y'all if you haven't been up to camp and and and seen what what happened there It's a overwhelming thing and even when you you go up there to work you feel like this right here You feel like that you're gonna be asked to feed 5,000 I mean It's just, everything's been torn down. Everything's messed up.
And so even when you go up there, you just donate a Saturday, which we all know our time and our Saturdays are so precious. You know, what is so little among so much Lord. But I'm gonna tell y'all, we're gonna watch God do it. And we're gonna stand there, and we're gonna be in that place one day, and we're gonna glorify God for all that God did, and God's gonna take our little. and he's going to do much with it.
We just got to keep plugging away. We got to say, Lord, here's my basket. Fill it. I'm willing to go. And what you give, I'm willing to give out to others. And then at the end, wasn't there just an abundance left over?
Oh, beloved, think about this in your life. Think about this about our little church. that God is using our little church to do much. And may we never despise that or think that as something as insignificant or that doesn't matter. Here we see this little boy. And not so much I want to talk about the little boy, I want to talk about the mother's love, amen? Because you know that little boy didn't make his own lunch, can I get an amen? You mommas know how many how many times had this mama made her lunches PB&J and put it in a bag for her little boy. And so it's just another day in her life. She caring for her son. being that nurturing one that God calls mothers to be.
But, and so sisters, another third Sunday rolled around and all day Saturday, you had to be on your mind, what am I fixing for lunch Sunday? You know, I've got to get to this store. I've got to do this. And so that's the way that this mother's was. And just in her love, she just did what God called her mamas to do. Hallelujah. And don't you know that little boy had a story when he got home about his lunch that day. Can I get an amen? He said, mama, you're not gonna believe what happened to my lunch today. This is like the biggest lunch story of all time.
Oh, but beloved, don't we all have little stories like that in our lives when we have seen God just take the little that we had that only came from Him anyway, but that we surrendered to Him and He did incredible things with it. Beloved, if you don't know what a miracle Providence Primitive Baptist Church is, your eyes are blind. Two families just started this church, just meeting together in the homes. We didn't even have a psalm book, but we just had a vision that we wanted a place that was Christ-centered, where Christ and God would have all the preeminence and a true church in our community that reflected the spirit of New Testament Christianity. And all that God has done, next year we're coming up on our 20th anniversary as a church. Hallelujah. God has taken little. and made much out of it and done much with it.
A mother's, God just uses a mother's love and care here, and then a boy's willingness to share. Oh, I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the boy came home and said, Mom, you'll never believe what Jesus did with my lunch. Amen, wouldn't you like to have been there for that? But beloved, it's not the greatness of our gifts that matter, right? Oh, how differently Christ views it than we do. You remember Jesus sitting by the treasury in the temple? And the people coming, and people were giving great amounts and great amounts, and people around were so impressed with that. And up walks the little widow.
It was five years ago. today that we say goodbye to Sister Joyce Nutt. I can't believe, Mamaw we called her. I can't believe it's been five years. It's made me think about her and Sister Ina and Sister Ann and all those precious saints. I saw this in their life, that what God had blessed them with, they surrendered back to God in powerful ways. And it's a lot about why we have what we have and where we're at today. And what God's doing in the same with our lives will be for now and the future. He's doing these same things in our hearts, in our lives, in our midst. He knows what He's going to do, but He wants to know what we're going to do. with what He has done for us.
And so here, beloved, it's not the greatness of our gift that matters, but the greatness of the God who receives them. Amen? And so the little widow, she came in and she puts in her two mites. And Jesus looked around and said, did y'all see that? And everybody's like, yeah, we saw everything. No, Jesus said, you missed it. You missed the greatest giving that's gone on today. He said everybody else gave because Jesus is omniscient. He said they gave from their overflow and from their plenty. But this widow, she gave more than they owe because she gave everything.
Why that means so much to Jesus? Because that's exactly the way that he was going to give. He is these loaves and fishes. He is the bread of life. He is the one who satisfies the hungry every time. Every meal that we have, the clothes on our back, the air that we're breathing is all coming from Him, beloved. He's supplying our every need. It's not the greatness of the gift that matters, but the greatness of the God who receives it.
And I just love here how Jesus employs these means. Now, it's all His power. All the glory goes to Him, but just this little boy with his lunch pail, and he finds out that there's a need, and he says, it's not much, but my mom made me this lunch, and whoever it'll help feed, I'm willing to share it. Don't you know, it just touched the heart of Jesus Christ? And so it does with Him when we do the same.
And then how He employs His disciples here. And He really shows the disciples their future, doesn't He? Because these twelve, this is exactly what they're going to be employed in the rest of their days of their life. They are going to take what Christ blesses and gives to them, and they're going to feed the world the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
Oh, and he is employing. You and me. And so I think that we see here today and we should see that we must take what Christ gives to us and we must share it with others. And I love here how Christ, he takes it and he makes everybody sit down. It's so orderly. There's no chaos. There's no grabbing for this and that. Everybody is just sitting down and wondering. What in the world is gonna go on? How are we going to be fed?
Can you imagine the conversations that people were having as 10 got fed, and 50 got fed, and 100 got fed, and 1,000 got fed, and it just kept coming, and they could eat all that they wanted, and even when it was over, there was 12 baskets full. Can you imagine the conversations that were going on? And it's the kind of conversations we ought to be having. Lord, how can you just make my cup overflow again and again, spiritually and naturally? How can I, such a sinner, so unworthy, with such empty baskets, with such empty hands, have such plenty in my life?
And I love how Christ Our Lord, He breaks this bread. He tears these fishes and oh, what a great example. He turns to His Father that is in heaven and He gives thanks. Oh, what a great example, right? He didn't cater. He didn't call a catering company. He didn't Venmo it in so everybody could get a cash app and order something from what's the app where you can get your food delivered to you. Y'all help me out. DoorDash, it wasn't all DoorDash. It was HeavenDashed. Can I get that? Amen.
But he gives a great example and he gives thanks, doesn't he? And he sanctifies it. Christ's examples to us how to give thanks for what we have and how to ask God to make much of it and more of it through prayer. Yes, that's how the miracle happened. Oh, it's so, so beautiful.
And Christ is teaching here. If you'll just drop a little bit further down, I want you to just see Christ teaches about this right after. Go to verse 28 of this same chapter just so we can just kind of pick this up where Christ is going with this Miracles because it's all his miracles always had a purpose then said they unto him What shall we do that? We might work the works of God and Jesus answered and said to them. This is the work of God Now you should believe on him Whom he hath sent Hallelujah That's our greatest work is to come to believe Christ and all the sufficiency for us in this life and the life to come and needs spiritual and needs natural.
And they said therefore unto him, What signs showest thou that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. And Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven. Those aren't our canned goods. These aren't our cars. None of those tables and chairs in the back are ours. These bodies, we didn't make them for ourselves and take up a boat in them. It all came from God.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, verse 32, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, And may we say it all, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And I don't think they really understood, but I hope you do. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Oh, may that be you and me today. Lord, ever give us that bread. Lord, ever make little. Take my little and make it much.
Well, thirdly, we want to go here a little bit deeper. The miracle of multiplication. The miracle of multiplication here. And the Savior who satisfies. The miracle of multiplication and the Savior who satisfies in God's kingdom. Beloved, there's enough for all. Did you get turned away at the door today? And did someone say, there's not enough room for you here? Beloved, No. Did anybody say there's not a place for you to sing the songs of praise unto the Lord or there's no room for you to bring your canned goods or to minister at the nursing home? Beloved, there's room for all. There's sufficiency for all. There's enough for all. There's more than enough and even left over. When Jesus blesses, there's always more than enough in the church and in the life
But Jesus didn't call for a meeting or for a committee here. He called for faith. And that's what He's calling from me and you today in our lives. Christ is not only the giver of the bread, he is the bread himself. The gospel in Christ is the true feast that is pictured here. We see the doctrine of Christ's efficiency all over this miracle. He is the bread of life, the deepest hunger. It's not physical, but it's spiritual and it can only be satisfied by him. Amen. God can overcome our scarcity and turn it to plenty. Trust that what you place in Christ's hands will never be wasted. Amen?
I love here in this story, you know, we'll eat back here in the back. We'll eat like kings, won't we, beloved? But there'll be some that's left over. There's some that'll even be thrown away because there's just enough, enough people here to eat it all. But don't you love here that here in this story, nothing was wasted. Christ is teaching you something in your life. What you spend for me, what you sacrifice for me in faith. I will bless it tenfold here and I'll bless it a thousand fold in the world to come. Beloved, what you are doing here for Christ, what you're sacrificing for here, you're laying up treasures in heaven. They wanted a king for their belly. But beloved, make no mistake. He's the king of hearts. Trust that what you place in Christ's hand will never be wasted. Share what you have and God will use it beyond your imagination.
Oh, may we see that today. May we see the miracle of the multiplier. May we see and believe and trust and continue to follow The Savior who satisfies.
Now lastly, let's move to the leftovers. But before we do that, I just want you to see here that when this was over, they came to the wrong conclusion. And Jesus even said that he knew that a lot of these people that were following him, they were following him not with their heart, but with their belly. And when he stopped kind of doing some of these major type of miracles among the multitudes, And he got down to the nitty and gritty of what he and the kingdom were all about. Many followed him no more, right?
And so they were looking for a Messiah. They were looking for a king for their belly. They were looking for someone that could throw off some of the hardship and the oppression of the Roman yoke and of the diminishing of the natural kingdom of the Jews, much like they experienced for a little while in the intertestamental period with the Maccabees, but they were looking for that on a grand scale. And some people are looking to Christ and preaching a Christ that is that way. But we do not preach in that way to you here. And we don't believe that Christ himself showed himself in that way because listen to what that it says in verse 14 and 15, what they want to do. And you can't treat Christ this way or try to use Christ in this way.
Verse 14, then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, they had some part of the truth. This is of a truth that prophet which should come into the world. So they recognized him as Messiah, as King, as the great servant leader, as the God man, but They misimagined what he was to be in their lives and what his kingdom was about because Jesus perceived their understanding. Do you see that in verse 15? Then Jesus there perceived that they would come and take him by force. And that's what people want to do with Jesus. They want to take him on their terms. They want to worship and serve Him the way that they like to. They want to have Him at their convenience and at their bidding. And so the majority of churches that are out there today, they are not for Christ and they are not for God. They are for man. And they're man-centered and the preaching is centered and the gospel and the salvation is man-centered. because they want to take him by force to make him a king in the way that they want him to be a king.
But he departed again into a mountain himself, alone. Oh, beloved, may we not want a king for our belly, but may we instead see him coronated and sitting on the throne of our hearts every day of our lives. And may we just be willing to be servants in his kingdom. He must take us by force. not the other way around. Amen.
Lastly, as we close, here we see the leftovers. God's overflowing grace. What needs do you have today, beloved? Listen this story teaches us this miracle teaches us that Jesus doesn't just meet needs he Exceeds them and it teaches us that nothing should be wasted in the kingdom of God It's a reminder to us that those of us who have chosen to serve Christ that will never go hungry Will never go hungry And it teaches us to not squander our blessings, but make the most of every moment that we have and of every miracle that we're blessed to be a part of.
Grace is not merely just enough to meet the needs, it abounds, right? Because Paul would teach us that in Romans. He said, where sin did abound, grace did much more about it. It's super about what a, what a miraculous mindset go with me to, uh, and just remind yourself about this miracle of, of a little, uh, too much.
We, we need to be reminded of this scripture today as we begin, uh, to close. Look with me, turn with me to this last scripture, please, please don't miss this. I'm just asking you in God's overflowing grace in your life, Are you squandering it? Are you squandering the moments and the opportunities that you have to be in the church, to serve, to minister, to be in the kingdom, the messages that are coming to you? Are you really trying to take them into your heart and learn them and make them a part of your mindset? And then the blessings that God has given to you, are you making the most of them for yourself and then turning and using them to be a blessing to others? That's what I'm talking about, because that's what's going on in this miracle.
here in Luke 16. Have you joined with me here? Oh, this is a miraculous mindset here. These are the words of Jesus. He that is faithful in that which is what? Least. Little, right? is faithful also in what? In much. There's the miracle. The miracle of little to much. It was just a little lad, right? It was just a little lad with a little lunch. But what did it turn into? Much. Much. He that is faithful, now which is least, is faithful also in much. But he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
So, beloved, I just encourage you today, if it's your heart, if it's your pain, if it's depression, if it's financial need, If it's anxiety or if it's insecurity, if it's, if it's bills, if it's future, if it's, uh, your own littleness, my cry to you from my heart is to bring it to Jesus. Bring it to Jesus. He knows that he'll reveal our human need. May each of us know and feel the power of surrender today. Of surrender. To see and lay hold and rejoice in today the sufficiency of the Lord Jesus Christ. May we see have been displayed in front of our eyes today and throughout our lives the overflowing abundance of His grace.
Beloved, come to the bread of life. Bring your smallness. Bring your insufficiency. And watch the miracle of much in His hands. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
