John 6:1-15

People followed Jesus because if the healings and miracles He did. If the church today could display God's power like that the buildings would be overflowing with people. Miracles attract the multitudes! Jesus also spent quality time with his disciples. His ministry wasn't just about the multitudes but it wasn't either just about the disciples. Each one is important. We need to make disciples like Jesus did and also have a desire to reach the multitudes with Gods love.
What a great example of how God uses the small things that we give to him and multiplies it beyoind our imagination. That boy who gave his lunch to Jesus had no idea that it would feed the mulitude. Don't get discouraged about the small offerings you give to the Lord, He is able to do great things with it. For the miracle to happen the people had to obey and sit down. If you didn't sit down, you were left out of the miracle. There are people today who miss out on miracles simply because of ego, pride and an attitude problem. The people ate until they were full. Thats Gods will to bless you abundantly until there is no more room for more. The 12 baskets of left overs, what do you think happened to them? Maybe one basket for each disciple to take home? NO! The boy who gave his lunch, took the abundance back to his house. Give and it shall be given to you. Can you imagine the look on his mothers face as he tried to explain to her the miracle? The people were amazed at his works and wanted to make him king, why not? He just fed them, who wouldn't want a king that could give like that and not take away?
