1ft. the tenon given tor our study
last: week Mark reoorded that Jesus
tent his disciple oat, by two, Into
the territory round about with the
power to preach to and heal those
they came in contact with. ': Upon
: their return they reported to him
:' and told him all things, both what
they had done, and what they had
'taught Realising that the execution
of their task had made 'large de
mands upon the spiritual strength
of his beloved band, Jesus suggested
that they withdraw from the crowd
which surrounded them and secure
some much-needed rest.
This withdrawal would not only
give the disciples an opportunity to
rest, but would give Jesus a chance
to give them private instruction. So,
it came that they embarked in a
boat to depart from the multitude of
people which now constantly attended
Jesus wherever he appeared.
The eager crowds were not so eas
ily disposed of. Seeing them depart
and realising where they were going
the people followed the shore line and
soon came upon Jesus and his dis
ciples. Realizing their great need,
Jesus had compassion on them, and
began to teach them. As the day
pawed, his disciples, practical ' men
that they were, reminded him that
the crowds should be sent away in
order that they might go into the
villages nearby and secure food for
themselves. Instead of dismissing
the multitudes, and thus taking the
easier way out of a difficult situation,
Jesus commanded that his disciples
feed them.
Astonished, the disciples answered
that, in all that multitude of people, '
there were only five barley cakes and
two small fishes, which John's Gospel
relates, were, the lunch of a small
boy. Jesus took this small amount
of food, commanded that the multi-
tude be seated on the ground by ( jng all we can of the little we have
companies, and, looking up to heaven, ( and God, using our little, will multi

twelve baskets of fragments - wer
gathered uo. "that nothing be lost'
Several outstanding characteristics
of Christ's are emphasised ' in this
lesson. In the first place, Christ
recognised the need i of his disciples
for the rest, food and relaxation. He
was himself a man and knew hunger
and thirst and fatigue in his own
body. ' After their strenuous :. efforts,
performed, under his instructions, he
desired to-give them an opportunity
for rest from their. labors and the
refreshment of mind and spirit which
would come from intimate contact
with them.
In the second place, he was full of
compassion for the crowds of people
who were following him, not really
knowing what they wen seeking or
why thev. were following him. To
him, they were as sheep, having no
shepherd. They were precious, be
wildered souls, having no real spir
itual guide. Their spiritual leaders
had no message for men and women
in the. bondage of sin; they had no
message at all for a sinner, only
condemnation. The Lord Jesus came
into the world as the Shepherd of the
sheep, to lead them to God, to feed
them with the Bread of Life, to de
liver them from their sins, and to
protect them from, the evil one. How
many religious leaders today are
sincerely trying to shepherd their
flocks? How many are there whose
hearts are rilled with compassion over
the huge miltitudes living in sin, who
have no shepherd to lead them 7
In the third place, Jesus supplied
not only the spiritual needs of the
multitude, when he taught them, but
he also supplied their physical needs
when he gave them bread to eat. He
supplied food bountifully, so that
everyone had all he wanted and there
was mora to be had. He didn't do as
so many of us do today just give
them a little in order to get oy.
When Jesus heals, he really heals:
when he redeems from sin, he re
deems from all sin; when he raises
the dead, he does not bring one back
to life to continue in a state of semi-
invalidism: so should we serve, giv-
give back to -you many: 4imes move
than you gave to Him.
