FEEDING BOTH
BODY AND SOUL
Mart <w30-44. This is the 4th
lesson in a series that identi
fies Jesus ss one having both
power and authority to do thst
which seems impossible. Thru
out the Gospels, there is
ample evidence to the mirac
ulous power that Jesus de
monstrated on many occasi
ons, under many different
circumstances. Since he was
God in flesh, he had every
right to present himself as a
true member of the triune
God. He did so with amazing
authority. Forgiving sins,
healing the sick, casting out
demons. One crowd glorified
God saying, "We never saw it.
on this fashion before."
The lesson today gives further,
testimony to his person and
power.
V 34-34 His popularity was
ever increasing, which caused
him and his disciples id'
withdraw from the crowds for
periods of rest, safety. Having
returned from a mission effort
<they presented themselves to
Jesus to give a report of their
activity. It was evident they
needed some rest so he
directed them to go into a
deserted place, away from
the crowds to relax for a
while. Their ministry was so
desired by the crowds they
didn't even have time to eat.
As they take their leave, they
are recognized and followed.

"moved with com pass km to
ward them." They looked tike
a flock at sheep without a
shepherd, much like the
multitudes who wander thru
fife aimlessly, no sense at
direction and without the
knowledge that there it one
who caret for them.
V 35-38 Late in the day, his
disciples approached him to
remind him of their where
abouts. They were in n
deserted place. Meal time had
come and no provisions had
been made for a hungry
crowd. They suggested that
Jesus send them away to find
their own supper. Instead. He
directed the disciples to pro
vide for the crowd. This
seemed to be more than they
could envision. One reason
faith is so essential to the
Christian experience is, we
are bound by limitations.

sick, the sight of a hungry
crowd was nothing to be

and two fishes. This small

presents noprobiem to Jesus:
Jesus is not nearly so concert

our availibiiities. He can takw
the small sad make it big. Our
smallest effort can bring forth
much when Jesus touches it
V 39-44 He directed the
disciples to sit the crowd
down in groups of 100 and
groups of SO. Jesus thanked
God for the provisions, broke
them and proceeded to distri
bute them to the waiting
crowd. How those loaves and
fish were multiplied and made
sufficient is not clear. What is
clear, is that Jesus once again
performs, out of a head of
compassion, an act that is no
less than a miracle. The result
was that 5,000 men, along
with the women and children,
all ate supper till they were
full from 5 loaves and 2 fishes,
CONCLUSION
There are some great
lessons presented in this text,
both for the saved and the un
saved. The following are some
truths shared .far 8" Chrla
Hum tar a sermon from this
text several years ago. Jesua
never gives ua ? job we can't
do.* We can do nothing
successful without Jesus. Je
sus always shares the respoa
sibihties- When our resources
are submitted to him, he
cm oses great things to hap
pen. These truths are evident
ia the lives at believers every
day. To the unsaved, there is
one who has the time and
concern to see about your
need. You may feel your need
is too great but not so. The
hungering within your soul '
can be satisfied at Calvary.

The hum BahaVUah

to that which yon sash wad
one paragraph before you
sleep, aod do not worry if the
meaning is not dear. Hold the
woods in your mind, and
presently you will find that
you do understand them.
Baha'u'Uah, alone, can alter
the current of your Rfe, and if
you are to fulfill your mission
here on earth, you must begin
to study the Baha'i Message.
Meanwhile there are corn
parisions that mankind must
make for himself.....
Csofhcfna Sayai When you
repay kindness with kindness,
then the people are encourag
ed to do good.
Bahs'aTah Sayai The sour

submission unto His com

Coahchi Saysi The super

without any one preconceived
course of action, or any taboo.
Hahs'ulah Sayai True re
liance is for the servant to
persue his profession and
calling in this world, to bold
fast unto the Lord, to seek
naught but his grace, inas
much as in His hands is the
destiny of all His servants.
Consultation and medita
tion may be thorns in the flesh
of men, but this Baha'i law
will play a mighty part in the
future of mankind. Then
meditation and sacrifice will
be hailed with high approval
in the life of a believer. Faith
and enthusiasm will be met by
challenging- tests wherever
you turn, but you will find
that the special activities for
Baha'is bring them pure joy
after coming over rought
spots. m
As you climb another step
up the ladder or the steep
mountain of spiritual under
standing the panarama of life
will widen and take on a new
beauty. Find a harmony be
tween the free and not-free
happenings of Hfe, between
the conscious and uncon
scious will; seek to make the
will conform to the Divine
Will, then man possesses the
greatest treasure: indestrue
table peace of mind!

On March the 22nd of
1964 the Lord in Heaven took
her home to be with Him ' in
the Haven of teat, where
she'U never suffer any more.
I remember well her smil
ing face and ao many prayers 1
have heard her pray. Since
she has been gone, times
have really changed. There
have been times of laughter,
sorrow and pain. I've felt the
need of those prayer through
the years. But mv
big mama had her day
praying through for me. She
lived it well, working day by
day, praying through for
those who would step and say
"Sister, pray for me." I've
' heard many say, feeling con
tended that things would be
better that day:
Hew proud I am that I had a
praying big mama. And aome
day rt meet her., pandas
where we'B never part any
more.
